fix(persist): add rate limiting, tests, and code quality improvements

- Add express-rate-limit to restore endpoint (5 req/min)
- Add JSDoc documentation to RestoreMutex class
- Extract magic numbers to named constants in BackupsSection
- Add unit tests for persist-routes.ts (23 tests)
- Add unit tests for BackupsSection component (28 tests)

Addresses PR #339 code review feedback.
