Resolves the client IP for a request — `request-ip`'s `getClientIp` unless [HttpProtectOptions.getClientIp](https://imqueue.org/api/http-protect/latest/http-protect.httpprotectoptions.getclientip/) replaced it.

**Signature:**

```typescript
readonly getClientIp: (req: Request) => string | null;
```

## Remarks

Everything this class stores is keyed by what this returns, so it is the single point that decides whose budget a request spends.
