feat: stop counting bots and headless crawlers in Umami - #29

Conversation
Nearly every visitor Umami counted besides the owner was a headless crawler: a stock Chrome, Edge or Safari user agent on a screen of exactly 800x600 (once 1024x1024), with no clicks. The docs now load no Umami script and send no event when navigator.webdriver is true, the user agent names a bot, crawler, spider, headless browser or link preview service, or the screen is exactly 800x600 or 1024x1024. The rule is src/lib/automated.ts, the same as in sluiceway/landing and sluiceway/app. The privacy page gains a section saying automated visitors are not counted, and page feedback from an automated browser says it was not sent.

Nearly every visitor Umami counted on docs.sluiceway.dev besides the owner was a headless crawler: a stock Chrome, Edge or Safari user agent, a screen of exactly 800x600 (once 1024x1024), no clicks.
src/lib/automated.ts: the shared rule, the same as in sluiceway/landing and sluiceway/app. A visit is automated whennavigator.webdriveris true, the user agent names a bot, crawler, spider, headless browser or link preview service, or the screen is exactly 800x600 or 1024x1024.src/lib/analytics.ts: an automated visit gets no Umami script and sends no event (automated(), next to Do Not Track'sblocked()). Page feedback from one says it was not sent.src/content/docs/privacy.mdx: a new "Automated visitors" section says these visits are not counted and by which signs.test/automated.test.ts(the rule, on crawlers, previews and people),test/analytics.test.ts(no script and no events for each sign),test/analytics-built.test.ts(the built pages check for automation).Nothing in Umami itself changes.
