feat: add rate limiting and job queue depth cap (closes #15)

- Add custom RateLimitMiddleware using governor crate for per-IP rate limiting
- Two-tier rate limiting: destructive (20 req/min, burst 10) and read (120 req/min, burst 30)
- Health endpoints (/health, /api/v1/system/info) exempt from rate limiting
- Add max_queue_depth to JobManager (default: 100, configurable via config.yaml)
- Return 429 Too Many Requests with Retry-After header when queue is full
- Add RateLimitConfig to config.yaml with all rate limit settings
- Add 10 tests covering rate limiting, queue depth, and configuration defaults
