Avoid bots from accessing widget #12

Since bots won't get any useful information in the simulator itself, it is better to block them: they consume resources (i.e., new containers are created) and data looks uglier (even when it is easy to filter these sessions afterwards).

Instead of handling user agents at webapp level, I have simply created a robots.txt file in the web server.
