AbuseIPDB Integration module

[johnjlarge]

Great solution this modification in the code introduces an additional check to prevent unnecessary IP abuse checks.

If the current page is a 'page_not_found', the IP abuse check will be skipped.
If the visitor is a known web spider or bot, the IP abuse check will also be skipped.

This reduces unnecessary API calls to AbuseIPDB when traffic comes from known web spiders or bots, which are usually harmless.

// Do not execute the check for the 'page_not_found' page or for known spiders
if ($current_page_base == 'page_not_found' || (isset($spider_flag) && $spider_flag === true)) {
    return;
} 

I've changed the modification to this to exclude spiders & 404. Just have to wait until tomorrow to check if block caching is now fully working, but on test mode all seems well. This mod seems to be evolving quickly, but it will do wonders to keep the worst offenders away & reduce my manual blocking workload massively.

Thank you all.
