This PR started as "clarifying Symfony's rate limiter use-case compared to rate limiters outside PHP" (first commit).

I wanted to also add some guidelines on brute force attack protection beyond limiting login attempts, but discovered login throttling wasn't documented yet. So this PR now also documents login throttling :)

Fixes #14251
