add systemd service unit and rate limit headers
Systemd deployment:
- examples/flaskpaste.service with security hardening
- examples/flaskpaste.env with all config options
- README deployment section updated

Rate limit headers (X-RateLimit-*):
- Limit, Remaining, Reset on 201 and 429 responses
- Per-IP tracking with auth multiplier
- api.md documented
