lebaudantoine 059e5f1ec4 🔒️(backend) add a daily cap on room creation
The per-minute room creation throttle absorbs bursts but does not stop
a compromised account from steadily creating rooms over hours or days.

Add RoomCreationDailyUserRateThrottle, a per-user throttle with its own
"room_creation_daily" scope, applied to room creation only alongside
the existing short-term throttle. It defaults to 1000 rooms per day and
is configurable via ROOM_CREATION_DAILY_THROTTLE_RATES.

Tests use a controllable clock and patch rates with monkeypatch so they
are restored after each test.
