[MEDIUM] session counters: add conn_rate and sess_rate counters
These counters maintain incoming connection rates and session rates
in a stick-table, over a period which is defined in the configuration
(2 ms to 24 days). They can be used to detect service abuse and
enforce a certain accept rate per source address for instance, and
block if the rate is passed over.
Example :
# block if more than 50 requests per 5 seconds from a source.
stick-table type ip size 200k expire 1m store conn_rate(5s),sess_rate(5s)
tcp-request track-counters src
tcp-request reject if { trk_conn_rate gt 50 }
# cause a 3 seconds pause to requests from sources in excess of 20 requests/5s
tcp-request inspect-delay 3s
tcp-request content accept if { trk_sess_rate gt 20 } WAIT_END
