archwiki: Add simple challenge for Chinese IP addresses
The wiki has been hammered with requests from some stupid Chinese bots/crawlers. Adding a simple challenge (requiring a cookie to be set), seems to be enough to throw them off.
This was initially added for all pages, but as that could affect Chinese search engines (concern raised on the forum[1]), it was changed to only affect "action views", which search engines are not supposed to crawl.
