[request] Capping Plugin

[sonicaghi]

Limit # of requests / calls / etc to a specific number in a consumer lifetime.

Non-Interval and Interval based.

Examples:

• 23 Requests per Month.
• 10 Requests ever.

What is this?

[sonicaghi]

hard stop on rate limiting and not per timeframe. Like 10 calls max lifetime.

I've updated @sinzone title and message to better convey the request.

The idea of this was to integrate it to the ratelimiting plugin tho. So should it be a new plugin or a new limit (hence, overall) in the ratelimiting plugin?

[subnetmarco]

+1 that it should be a period, like alltime, along with second, minute, etc.
