fix(server): throttle the cost-bearing proxies by default

The OpenAI endpoints (/api/realtime/token, /api/openai/hud-summary) now
allow 30 requests per minute per client IP and the Google Places endpoints
120, the caps the Pinokio build already ships. GEV_RATELIMIT_OPENAI_PER_MIN
and GEV_RATELIMIT_GOOGLE_PER_MIN still override them and exactly 0 disables
them; an unreadable value falls back to the default rather than to
unlimited.

Salvaged from #683 onto current main.
