Add login rate limiting (P4.6 complete)

Implement client-side rate limiting for login page with 5 attempts
per minute, matching the spec requirement in authentication.md.

Features:
- Track login attempts with timestamps in component state
- Block login when 5+ attempts made within 60 seconds
- Show "Too many login attempts" error when rate limited
- Show remaining attempts warning after 3 failures
- Disable form/button when rate limited
- Auto-clear after 1 minute cooldown
- Works for both email/password and OIDC authentication

Tests:
- 6 new tests covering rate limiting scenarios (32 total)
- 796 tests passing across 43 test files

+- **Features Implemented:**
+  - Client-side rate limiting tracking login attempts with timestamps
+  - Rate limit: 5 attempts per minute (RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS = 60000)
+  - Shows "Too many login attempts. Please try again in 1 minute." error when rate limited
+  - Shows remaining attempts warning after 3 failures
+  - Disables form/button when rate limited
