Purpose
Separate the basic IP based rate limits from the rate limits that rely on the request context for performance.
The schema validation required for the request context based rate limits is expensive.
Approach
Process simple IP-based rate-limits before doing auth check & param validation.
Process route-specific param/reqCtx based rate-limits after auth & param validation.
Fix a few issues in #1635 that were revealed by unit tests.
