Add rate limiting to login endpoint

Introduced Flask-Limiter to restrict login attempts to 5 per minute per IP, enhancing security against brute-force attacks. Updated error handling to display a user-friendly message when the rate limit is exceeded. Minor improvements to the login page, including clearer error messages and display of the user's IP address.
