Pull request overview

Adds configurable submission rate limiting to the leaderboard system (stored per leaderboard GPU type in Postgres), exposes management/query surfaces via Discord commands and API endpoints, and standardizes several timestamps to UTC.

Changes:

• Add rate_limit_seconds to leaderboard.gpu_type and implement DB helpers to set/get/enforce limits.
• Enforce rate limits during submission preparation and remove the prior hard-coded API-only rate limit.
• Add admin/user-facing commands/endpoints for rate limit configuration + various UTC timestamp updates / formatting changes.

• _run_submission converts all exceptions into HTTP 400 responses. With rate limiting moved into prepare_submission, this will also turn rate-limit errors into 400s. Consider catching KernelBotError explicitly and using its http_code (e.g., 429) when raising HTTPException, while keeping other exceptions as 400/500 as appropriate.

async def _run_submission(submission: SubmissionRequest, mode: SubmissionMode, backend: KernelBackend):
    try:
        req = prepare_submission(submission, backend)
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail=str(e)) from e

@claude review this code please

[msaroufim]

We probably also want user based rate limits but LGTM

wanna deal with merge conflicts and merge? we might need this as the competition is closing out soon
