Allow certain specified ranges to bypass protections

[marijnvanwezel]

This pull request, when merged, allows an administrator to specify certain IP-ranges that can bypass the restrictions imposed by CrawlerProtection. This can be useful to e.g. allow internal networks or crawlers coming from certain tools.

The administrator can specify a number of IP-ranges to allow using $wgCrawlerProtectionAllowedIPs. For example:

$wgCrawlerProtectionAllowedIPs = [ '192.168.0.1' ]; // Allow only 192.168.0.1
$wgCrawlerProtectionAllowedIPs = [ '10.0.0.0/8', '172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255', '192.168.0.0/16' ]; // Allow local connections
$wgCrawlerProtectionAllowedIPs = [ '13.52.5.96/28' ]; // Allow some monitoring tool

This looks great. @marijnvanwezel Would you be able to bump the version in extension.json to 1.4.0 please? Thank you!

There are some tests failing though. This may be related to incompatibility with PHP 7.4.

@jeffw16 Thanks, I incremented the version to 1.4.0 and hopefully fixed the compatibility and styling issues.
