Add NGINX ingress rate limiting to protect against traffic spikes (#843)

<!-- Provide a brief summary of your changes -->

## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
The following is an alternative solution to #833

Goal is to deploy and promote it to prod, then monitor the alerts for a
week to see its effect and reassess. In case it's actual traffic that
we've started blocking we can also up the replicas. I thought it doesn't
make sense to up them now since it would be nice to isolate the result
of this change first.
