lukaszraczylo 6751346796 fix(ratelimit): make burst a short-window allowance above the rate
Burst and the sustained rate were compared against the same window, so
a burst above the sustained rate never took effect. Burst is now
measured over a short window on top of the sustained limit. An unset
burst preserves the previous rate-only behaviour.
