Disallow webcrawlers to follow Paste line number anchor links
Summary: Paste provides line anchor links in every single line of a paste. If webcrawlers follow these links, they index the very same Paste again. Thus disallow in robots.txt to reduce unneeded traffic and indexing time. Closes T15662 Test Plan: Go to `/robots.txt` in the web browser. Cross fingers that more webcrawlers abide by RFC 9309.
