Replace complex GeoIP middleware with simple IP-based blocking

- Remove dependency on external GeoIP database
- Block known problematic regions (China, Russia, India, Brazil) by IP ranges
- Block common hosting providers and datacenter IPs used by bots
- Simple, no-setup solution that works immediately
