Raising IpSpoofAttackError should result in a 403 Forbidden instead of 500 Internal Server Error

#4757

When IP spoofing has been detected sending 403 Forbidden is more appropriate than saying there was an internal server error.

403 Forbidden: "The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated." -- http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

    I think it should be the sensible default. Why have default @@rescue_responses at all otherwise?
