Improve clarity of the Rate Limits UI

What does this MR do?

Previously the admin interface for "User and IP Rate Limits" had inputs with duplicate labels. These inputs were only differentiated by their groupings on the page, which themselves were not clear. This improves the input labels, makes the checkbox labels bold (as they are the most important inputs in this section), and adds some horizontal rules to visually distinguish the groupings. These changes are intended to make this UI easier to understand, and match up better with the docs.

See the Rate Limit documentation for more details.
