Disallow creation of robots.txt in freeurl

Browse source 
Add a configuration setting to "hard"-disable creation of notes as
set by the configuration value. This defaults to `['robots.txt',
'favicon.ico']`, because these files are often accidentally created
by bots and browsers.

This commit fixes #1052.
