twotalesanimation a4526979c4 Phase 2: Add rate limiting and session regeneration
- Created RateLimitMiddleware class with 8 public methods
  * isLimited() - check if limit exceeded
  * incrementAttempt() - increment attempt counter
  * getRemainingAttempts() - get remaining attempts
  * getTimeRemaining() - get time remaining in window
  * reset() - reset counter after success
  * requireLimit() - check and die if exceeded
  * getStatus() - get status info for monitoring
  * Support for time-window based rate limiting

- Integrated rate limiting into critical endpoints:
  * validate_login.php: 5 attempts per 900 seconds (15 minutes)
  * send_reset_link.php: 3 attempts per 1800 seconds (30 minutes)
  * Prevents brute force attacks and password reset abuse
  * Still increments counter for non-existent emails (prevents enumeration)

- Integrated session regeneration on successful login:
  * Google OAuth login (both new and existing users)
  * Email/password login
  * Uses AuthenticationService::regenerateSession()
  * Prevents session fixation attacks

- Rate limit counters stored in PHP session
- Time-window based with 15-minute and 30-minute windows
- Graceful error messages with retry_after in JSON responses
- AJAX-aware error handling
