feat: add rate limiting middleware framework (#737) (#4002)

* feat: add rate limiting middleware framework

Add rate limiting middleware with token bucket algorithm for
per-client request rate limiting. This provides the foundation
for DoS protection.

Refs #737

* fix: address clippy lints in rate_limit.rs

- Collapse nested if statements into single if-let chains
- Use .is_multiple_of() instead of manual modulo check

+//! Rate limiting middleware for RustFS
+//!
+//! This module provides per-client request rate limiting using a token bucket algorithm.
+//! It helps protect against DoS attacks by limiting the number of requests per client.
