kv: split rate limits and metrics for read and write requests #53510

Fixes #53483.

This commit splits the existing request rate limit into two categories, read requests and write requests. Experimentation has shown that the fixed cost of a request is dramatically different between these two categories, primarily because write requests need to go through Raft while read requests do not. By splitting the limits and metrics along this dimension, we expect to be able to more accurately model the cost of KV traffic and more effectively tune rate limits.

In making the split, the commit replaces the existing metric:

kv.tenant_rate_limit.requests_admitted

with the following two new metrics:

kv.tenant_rate_limit.read_requests_admitted
kv.tenant_rate_limit.write_requests_admitted

The commit also replaced the existing two settings:

kv.tenant_rate_limiter.requests.rate_limit
kv.tenant_rate_limiter.request.burst_limit

with the following four new settings:

kv.tenant_rate_limiter.read_requests.rate_limit
kv.tenant_rate_limiter.read_requests.burst_limit
kv.tenant_rate_limiter.write_requests.rate_limit
kv.tenant_rate_limiter.write_requests.burst_limit

Release justification: Low-risk, high benefit change.

This makes the code cleaner and avoids the `ba.IsWrite()` call for
read-only requests.

This test was broken in cockroachdb#53510 which augmented the limiter machinery to
deal with read and write requests independently. The problem is that the
timer machinery works to synchronize the first blocked request but not
subsequent requests. That leaves the test-writer with no fundamental
means to ensure that subsequent blocked commands synchronize with a
metrics command. This lack of synchronization on metrics was a pain-point
when writing the original tests and led to excessive use of timers as
synchronization. Rather than trying to add excess synchronization, this
commit just adds a succeeds soon around the metrics. This works well.

Fixes cockroachdb#53590
