Lukas c2dd9f5f55 Add scheduled cleanup for rate limiter (#32)
Implement periodic cleanup of expired rate-limiter entries to prevent
unbounded memory growth during long runtimes.

Changes:
- Create rate_limiter_cleanup task that calls cleanup_expired() every 30 minutes
- Register the task in the startup DAG alongside other background jobs
- Update rate_limiter module documentation with operational notes about the
  cleanup lifecycle and memory management strategy

The cleanup is conservative and only removes IPs with no recent attempts
(all timestamps outside the rate-limit window), so active IPs are preserved.

"""Application startup helpers.
This module contains shared startup logic extracted from ``app.main`` so that
initialisation is easier to reason about and unit test. The lifespan handler
in ``app.main`` delegates resource creation and task registration here.
The startup process is orchestrated by StartupDAG, which ensures all resources
are initialized in the correct order with explicit dependency tracking, and
cleanly rolls back on failure.
Startup Stages (in order):
1. WORKER_MODE: Verify single-worker mode (no multi-worker scheduler conflicts)
2. DATABASE: Initialize database schema and cache setup completion state
3. GEO_CACHE: Load and configure IP geolocation cache
4. HTTP_SESSION: Create shared aiohttp session with timeouts
5. SCHEDULER: Create APScheduler instance and register background tasks
6. TASKS: Verify all tasks are registered
See StartupDAG in app.startup_dag for full dependency graph and rollback logic.
