fix: remove runtime export of type-only RateLimitStorage from ratelimit.cjs

[Copilot]

RateLimitStorage is a TypeScript interface — it doesn't exist at runtime. ratelimit.cjs exported it in module.exports without ever importing it, causing ReferenceError: RateLimitStorage is not defined on any import from commandkit/ratelimit.

• Removed RateLimitStorage from the module.exports object in ratelimit.cjs
• The type remains accessible to TypeScript consumers via ratelimit.d.ts (export * from './dist/utils/useful-stuff/ratelimiter.js')

<issue_title>bug: commandkit/ratelimit throws ReferenceError: RateLimitStorage is not defined on import (v1.2.0)</issue_title>
<issue_description>When importing createRateLimiter from commandkit/ratelimit, CommandKit throws a ReferenceError: RateLimitStorage is not defined before my command can even load. This makes the documented commandkit/ratelimit entrypoint unusable.

Looking at node_modules/commandkit/ratelimit.cjs, it tries to export RateLimitStorage, but that symbol is never defined in the required module (./dist/utils/useful-stuff/ratelimiter.js), which only exports RateLimiter, MemoryRateLimitStorage, etc.

<agent_instructions>`RateLimitStorage` is a typescript type and not a runtime value, so it should not be re-exported from the ratelimit js file. Fix this issue and make sure the code compiles. Do not run the discord bot or anything that opens socket connection. Only attempt the fix and ensure the project builds properly. At the end, make sure to run `pnpm format` command before committing.</agent_instructions>
