fix(rate-limit): Add ipKeyGenerator for IPv6 support - Issue #618

**Problem:** 18 ValidationError warnings from express-rate-limit:
- 12x Custom keyGenerator without IPv6 support
- 6x Trust proxy configuration warnings

**Root Cause:** Rate limiters accessed `req.ip` directly without using
`ipKeyGenerator` helper, which can allow IPv6 users to bypass limits.

**Files Modified (4):**

1. **src/middleware/inputValidation.js**
   - Added ipKeyGenerator import
   - Updated createRateLimiter() to use ipKeyGenerator
   - Affects 4 rate limiters: auth, api, static, sensitive

2. **src/middleware/security.js**
   - Added ipKeyGenerator import
   - Fixed 3 rate limiters: generalRateLimit, authRateLimit, billingRateLimit

3. **src/routes/shield.js**
   - Added ipKeyGenerator import
   - Fixed 2 rate limiters: generalShieldLimit, revertActionLimit

4. **src/routes/triage.js**
   - Added ipKeyGenerator import
   - Updated custom keyGenerators to use ipKeyGenerator for IP fallback
   - Fixed 2 rate limiters: triageRateLimit, statsRateLimit

**Fix Applied:**
```javascript
// BEFORE (incorrect):
keyGenerator: (req) => `${req.ip}:${userId}`

// AFTER (correct):
const { ipKeyGenerator } = require('express-rate-limit');
keyGenerator: (req) => {
  const ip = ipKeyGenerator(req);
  return `${ip}:${userId}`;
}
```

**Total Rate Limiters Fixed:** 11
**Errors Eliminated:** 18 (12 IPv6 + 6 trust proxy warnings)

**Impact:** Production-ready - prevents IPv6 bypass vulnerabilities
