Addressing git.dpdk.org downtime

Addressing git.dpdk.org downtime

[Ali Alnubani]

Hello everyone,

We’re aware that https://git.dpdk.org has been experiencing availability 
issues lately, largely due to abusive bots and crawlers overloading the servers and ignoring traditional controls like robots.txt.

To address this, we're preparing to deploy Anubis, a traffic-challenging tool, to help ensure reliable and continued access for the community, starting with our cgit instance. This approach has been adopted by several other open-source projects recently to reduce disruptive automated traffic.

Please reach out if you have questions or encounter issues.

See: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

Thanks,
Ali

The new service is now live on git.dpdk.org. Regular browsing and git 
operations should work as usual.
HTTP traffic is now forcefully redirected to HTTPS as part of this change.

Thanks for your understanding and support,
