Local administrators can now use [[MediaWiki:Captcha-ip-whitelist]]
page to exempt specific IP addresses and IP ranges from captchas.
This is useful for modifying in a short notice such as editathons and
other events like this where captchas add unnecessary complexity for
new users.
The page is disabled by default and IPs should be added separated by
newlines. If any other character is found on a line, it will be ignored
but leading and trailing whitespace characters are allowed.

Use a default setting of > 20 logins in 10 minutes. In order to
achieve this many with core's default throttle's, you would have
to be attempting to login from at least 2 IP addresses.

If you are running multiple wikis, you probably want the rate limit

If the user has not resolved the "edit"-triggered CAPTCHA correctly,
show an error message, so the user knows, why their edit isn't saved.

The config needs to be an array to work, if any other type given it
will throw a warning, but doesn't show, that it will not work. Instead
of pass the edit as "not need to be checked", throw an exception to
indicate that something went wrong.

Check, if an edit is being saved or not, before checking for captcha
triggers, that potentially could query the database or/and do other
expensive things.

Logs a 'captcha.display' event when a captcha is displayed,
either via web or in an API response, and 'captcha.submit' when
a captcha response is evaluated.

Log exceeding the badcaptcha rate limit to the main captcha log (e.g.,
captcha.log on the WMF cluster).
So that we can measure the impact of things like
