feat: rate-limit /auth/login, /register, /me/password (0.35.0)

A hand-rolled token-bucket limiter (5 req/sec, 10-request burst by
default; AUTH_RATE_PER_SEC/AUTH_RATE_BURST env knobs) gates the three
auth-mutation endpoints. One bucket per AppState so tests stay
isolated. Tower-governor wasn't wired in because the reverse proxy
doesn't yet forward client IPs — a global bucket gives equivalent
brute-force protection until that lands.
