  1. Add monitoring for common spam patterns

    We've noticed some common patterns in recent spam attacks. While our
    response time on these has been ok, we can look for some of these common
    patterns and page whoever is on-call earlier than we'd otherwise notice.
    The exact patterns we look for is considered sensitive information, and
    thus not in the repo and should not be discussed publicly.
    
    Note that I've opted to look for crates that are likely spam, rather
    than volume. Volume is more likely to have false positives, and is
    better handled by more aggressive rate limiting.
    
    This assumes that we consider a spam attack to be something we always
    want to page for. Since we have better coverage of someone watching
    discord most hours, we could alternatively have this post in a private
    channel, and let whoever is awake determine if it's worth paging over.
    
    If someone does get paged, it's assumed that this will get resolved
    either by them taking action to remove the crates, or if the crate is
    legitimate, by updating the config vars to remove that pattern.
