DOC-7127 Fix incorrect token-bucket throughput claim across 9 rate-limiter pages

[andy-stark-redis]

Summary

• capacity=10, refill_rate=1, refill_interval=1.0 was documented as allowing "10 requests per second with bursts up to 10." The bucket starts full so the burst-of-10 is correct, but the sustained rate is refill_rate / refill_interval = 1 token/sec, not 10 — the neighboring capacity=100 example on every page already applies that formula correctly, which is what exposes this line as an arithmetic slip.
• Fixes the shared bullet (the DOC-6999 literal) on all 9 rate-limiter client pages (redis-py, java-jedis, java-lettuce, nodejs, go, php, rust, ruby, dotnet), plus the matching code comment on the redis-py page.

Reported in #4146.

Test plan

• End-anchored grep confirms 0 remaining instances of the wrong line and 9 instances of the corrected line
• Confirmed the neighboring capacity=100/capacity=60 example lines are unchanged
• Reviewed full diff — exactly the 10 intended one-line changes, nothing else touched

Low Risk
Documentation-only wording fixes with no runtime or API changes.

Overview
Corrects a documentation error on all nine token-bucket rate limiter guides (redis-py, Go, Node.js, Java/Jedis, Java/Lettuce, PHP, Ruby, Rust, .NET).

The shared example capacity=10 with refill_rate/refillRate of 1 per 1.0 second was described as 10 requests per second; it now states 1 request per second with bursts up to 10, matching sustained throughput refill_rate / refill_interval while keeping burst size at capacity. The redis-py page’s sample comment is updated the same way.

No implementation or config defaults change—only prose in Configuration parameters (and one inline comment on redis-py).
