Respect GITLAB_THROTTLE_USER_ALLOWLIST for Global Search rate limit
Release notes
Problem to solve
The GITLAB_THROTTLE_USER_ALLOWLIST does not apply to the later-introduced Global Search rate limiting.
However, customer may want to exempt certain admins or trusted power-users from the limit.
Proposal
@terrichu suggested internally to integrate the users_allowlist option into check_rate_limit! calls. Relevant code locations are likely covered by: !49127 (diffs) & !80631 (diffs).
Intended users
Personas that are likely to rely most heavily on the GitLab global search.
