Bound the receiver rate limit per client IP across /webhook/* (closes #139)

The receiver limiter keyed buckets on (client IP, request path). The
route pattern /webhook/{uuid} matches any single segment, so a client
that invented a fresh path per request minted a fresh bucket per
request and never refilled one: its aggregate rate against the only
unauthenticated, internet-exposed endpoint was unbounded, and every
one of those requests reached an entrypoint lookup before it 404ed.

Put a second limiter in front of it, keyed on the client IP alone and
covering the whole route at ten times the configured per-entrypoint
limit (1200/min by default). The per-entrypoint limit is unchanged and
still wanted; it just bounds nothing in aggregate on its own. Ten
entrypoints' worth of headroom lets one sender address drive several
entrypoints at full rate while still capping what one address costs
the receiver. The multiplication saturates rather than wrapping, since
nothing bounds RECEIVER_RATE_LIMIT from above and a negative limit
would reject every request.

The aggregate limiter is the outer one, so it counts the requests the
per-entrypoint limiter rejects; a test pins that order by exhausting
one path against the inner limit and then requiring a request to an
unused path to be rejected.

Move the handler's INFO line for an incoming webhook below the
entrypoint lookup. The UUID is attacker-controlled path text, so
logging it first let a client write an INFO line per invented path; a
miss is already logged at DEBUG and the request is already in the
access log.

Give the aggregate limiter its own 429 handler that logs at DEBUG and
without the path, rather than the shared one that logs at WARN with
it. Its rejections are one line per request of the very flood it
exists to bound, so the shared handler would have let a client write
its own text into the operator's log at an alerting level once per
request. What this limiter bounds is the database work an invented
path costs; the access log still records every request once at INFO,
and the README now says so instead of claiming DEBUG-only logging.
