Keith SmithandClaude Sonnet 4.5 deabe6ab3d Fix Critical Security Issue: Implement rate limiting on API endpoints
Added comprehensive rate limiting to prevent abuse and DoS attacks:

Configuration (config/settings/base.py):
- Anon rate: 100 requests/hour for anonymous users
- User rate: 1000 requests/hour for authenticated users
- Login rate: 10 attempts/hour (prevents brute force)
- Register rate: 5 attempts/hour (prevents account spam)
- Sync rate: 100 requests/hour (prevents sync flooding)

Custom throttle classes (users/throttles.py):
- LoginRateThrottle: Strict limit for login endpoint
- RegisterRateThrottle: Strict limit for registration endpoint
- SyncRateThrottle: Moderate limit for sync endpoint

Applied throttling to sensitive endpoints:
- users.views.RegisterAPIView: 5/hour
- users.views.TokenObtainPairView: 10/hour
- sync.views.sync: 100/hour

All other API endpoints use default throttles (anon: 100/hour, user: 1000/hour).
