Allow other modules to add flood control settings
>>> [!note] Migrated issue

<!-- Migrated from issue #1299724. -->

<p>As part of the move of <a href="https://drupal.org/project/og_contact">OG Contact</a> to D7, I was looking through Contact module's code and saw that is uses flood control for its now hidden threshold variables. <a href="https://drupal.org/node/1258182">I have decided to move in that direction</a> for OG Contact.</p>
<p>When looking at flood control, I realized that it didn't provide any way for me to do that.</p>
<p>This patch creates hook_flood_control_add_setting(), which allows other modules to add items to the flood control settings page.</p>
<p>I have also attached a new api file for documentation; though that probably needs to be worked on a bit.</p>
<p>When implemented by another module it looks something like:</p>
<div class="codeblock">
