Add rate limiting category to Application Performance group

Joshua Lambert requested to merge jl-add-rate-limit-category into master

GitLab provides a built-in rate limiting service to prevent noisy neighbor problems as well as other potential types of intentional and unintentional abuse. This is an important framework to ensure stable operations of GitLab services for all of our customers.

While each product group is responsible for ensuring their API endpoints and other features have rate limits adding, we need one group who can take ownership of the general rate limiting framework and ensure it has the features we need, and to provide maintenance.

Since this is a low-level ruby/rails framework, which helps to ensure even performance across the application, the Application Performance group seems like the best group to mature this framework.
