Currently, when disabling the brute force protection no new brute force attempts are logged. However, the ones logged within the last 24 hours will still be used for throttling.
This is quite an unexpected behaviour and caused some support issues. With this change when the brute force protection is disabled also the existing attempts within the last 24 hours will be disregarded.

This allows adding rate limiting via annotations to controllers, as one example:
```
@UserRateThrottle(limit=5, period=100)
@AnonRateThrottle(limit=1, period=100)
```
Would mean that logged-in users can access the page 5 times within 100 seconds, and anonymous users 1 time within 100 seconds. If only an AnonRateThrottle is specified that one will also be applied to logged-in users.

Class Throttler implements the bruteforce protection for security actions in
Nextcloud.
It is working by logging invalid login attempts to the database and slowing
down all login attempts from the same subnet. The max delay is 30 seconds and
the starting delay are 200 milliseconds. (after the first failed login)
