Reduce memory usage of rate limiting (#3111)

* Reduce Vec allocations

* Optimize stuff

* Move embedded migrations to separate crate

* Revert "Move embedded migrations to separate crate"

This reverts commit 44b1049970.

* clippy, fmt

* Shrink rate limit allowance to f32

* Initialize rate limit allowance directly

* Add removal of old rate limit buckets

* Improve readability

* Remove usage of is_okay_and for Rust 1.67 compatibility

* Add dhat-heap feature

* Fix api_benchmark.sh and add run_and_benchmark.sh

* Revert "Fix api_benchmark.sh and add run_and_benchmark.sh"

This reverts commit b4528e5b85.

* Revert "Add dhat-heap feature"

This reverts commit 08e835d487.

* Manually revert remaining stuff

* Use Ipv6Addr in RateLimitStorage

* Shrink last_checked in RateLimitBucket to 32 bits

* Fix rate_limit::get_ip

* Stuff (#1)

* Update rate_limiter.rs
