[ Laravel ] Add rate limiting middleware to web routes and fix session driver fallback

[Stacylia]

The laravel/routes/web.php currently has no rate limiting, and the session configuration in laravel/config/session.php does not handle the case where the configured driver is unavailable — it should fall back to the file driver gracefully.

What needs to be done

• Add a throttle:60,1 rate limiter to the web routes group in laravel/routes/web.php
• Register a custom rate limiter in laravel/app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php using RateLimiter::for that limits by authenticated user ID or by IP for guests
• Fix laravel/config/session.php to include a fallback key that defaults to file when the primary driver connection fails
• Add a route that returns the current rate limit headers for debugging

How we verify your submission

• Rate limiting returns 429 Too Many Requests after 60 requests per minute from the same source
• The custom rate limiter distinguishes between authenticated users and guests
• Session driver falls back to file when primary driver is misconfigured
• The debug route correctly displays rate limit headers
