Rate limits: Cross-link docs and tweak UI wording

Michael Kozono requested to merge mk/update-rate-limit-docs into master

What does this MR do?

Cross-link rate limit docs and tweak UI wording.

From #29952 (comment 241670651):

I've added a couple small to do items.

  • Remove A web server restart is required after changing these settings.

I believe the new Admin Area Protected Paths don't need a web server restart.

I believe Omnibus Protected Paths require a restart because you modify gitlab.rb then reconfigure, which regenerates the initializer, which must be loaded again.

  • Change Omnibus Protected Paths throttle is active. to Omnibus Protected Paths throttle is active, and takes priority over these settings.

Since it doesn't matter whether the Admin Area settings are enabled or not, when this message is being displayed.
