The single server-scope limit_req (30r/s) treated a page load and a room
load as the same thing. Loading a Nitro room fires several hundred gamedata
icons in one burst, which that zone answered with 503s, so icons showed up
late in the client.
Add a separate static zone (1000r/s, burst 1000, nodelay) for the gamedata
and client asset locations, and apply the page-rate zone explicitly on the
main route instead of at server scope. Connection limit stays server-wide.
Measured: 900 icon requests in burst now all return 200, while 200 parallel
requests on / are still rejected.
