Documents the changes from crowdsecurity/crowdsec#4667 and crowdsecurity/crowdsec#4715.

  • appsec/hooks.md:
    • new SkipProcessing(reason) helper in pre_eval
    • new "DropRequest and SkipProcessing" section: both stop WAF evaluation for the current pass (post_eval still runs), drop blocks and emits an event/alert while skip lets the request through silently, the effect is per pass, and the first decision wins
    • score helper rows list RequestScoreCategories and SetRequestScore
  • appsec/bot_detection/hooks.md:
    • request scoring table: optional category on AddRequestScore, RequestScoreFor works per category, category:reason format in RequestScoreReasons, new RequestScoreCategories and SetRequestScore
    • new "Categories" subsection with an example capping a group of signals, and the hook_vars.request_score_categories value
    • SkipProcessing added to the on_challenge helpers

versioned_docs/version-v1.8 is overwritten with the docs/ version of both files (this also syncs two small wording differences that had drifted in appsec/hooks.md).
