This gives the same upper limit to the live crawler and the big boy crawler, though the live crawler will reject items too large, and the big crawler will truncate at that point.
We should not wait until we've fetched robots.txt to decide whether we have any data to fetch! This makes the live crawler very slow and leads to unnecessary requests.
This change adds `Accept-Encoding: gzip` to all outbound requests from the live crawler and feed fetcher, and the corresponding decoding logic for the compressed response data.
The change addresses issue #136, save for making the fetcher's requests conditional.
To avoid hammering the same invalid URLs for up to two months, URLs that fail to fetch correctly are on a dice roll added to a bad URLs table, that prevents further attempts at fetching them.
