Fixes #3163.

Every profile URL on www.cgtrader.com, real or not, redirects to /designers/{username} and answers HTTP 202 with an empty body and x-amzn-waf-action: challenge. CGTrader's checkType is status_code, so that 2xx reads as a match regardless of whether the username exists, and every check comes back as a found account. This marks the site disabled: true and tags it aws_waf_js_challenge, as the development guide prescribes for this symptom, so it can be re-enabled alongside the other AWS-WAF sites once a solver ships. sites.md and db_meta.json were regenerated with the repo's pre-commit hook, and a regression test pins the fix.

Every profile URL on www.cgtrader.com, real or not, now redirects to
/designers/{username} and answers HTTP 202 with an empty body and
x-amzn-waf-action: challenge. The status_code check reads that 2xx as a
found account, so every username came back as a CGTrader match.

Mark the site disabled and tag it aws_waf_js_challenge, as the
development guide prescribes for this symptom (same as Dreamwidth and
ViewBug), so it can be re-enabled with the others once a solver ships.
