google-labs-jules[bot]andCloCkWeRX 9ebd98de2d Harden Rack::Attack and pagination against aggressive web crawlers
- Configure Allow2Ban in Rack::Attack to ban IPs requesting >500 pages per day for 1 week (7 days).
- Add honeypot route /dont-crawl-me disallowed in robots.txt and configure Fail2Ban in Rack::Attack to ban IPs visiting it for 7 days upon 1 hit.
- Update PhotosController#index to raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound when page parameter is out of bounds, returning 404 Not Found to crawlers instead of 200 OK.
- Add request and controller specs for Rack::Attack rules and pagination 404 responses.

Jake Yesbeck 0f8d1e7db1 Change the render to render the file directly
Also assert that the response is the actual file contents
instead of mocking the method call

Jake Yesbeck 507e5a0ebc Robots controller and custom robots.txt files
New route to /robots.txt and some specific logic to switch
on if the subdomain is staging or not.

Staging will not allow any crawlers at all, production does not
have any current limitations
