Title: Anti spam

This adds two new anti spam measures ...

Taken from smf21 https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/commit/45a462269904a3510484c5c46c465f118bcc2f31 and redone as needed for ElkArte

1) A time gate on registration which prevents users from registering to fast, bots will fill out forms faster than is humanly possible, so this stops the flood.

2) Empty field verification adds a hidden field to forms that should remain empty, bots will tend to fill it out and fail verification. There are other variants of this measure that could be added as well.
