Pull Request: Implement Global API Rate Limiting
🎯 Overview
This PR integrates a global rate limiting architecture into the Rent-Mate backend API. By enforcing a strict request limit per IP address, this security enhancement actively protects the application against brute-force authentication attacks, potential Denial of Service (DoS) attempts, and automated database spamming.
