API limits can be based on URL, method_name or API_KEY

I rewrote the _check_limit method so It can be configured to the needs of almost everyone.

It solves #397 while being compatible with less restrictive needs.

With

$config['rest_limits_method'] = 'API_KEY'; // put a limit per api key

limits are based on the api key only

$this->methods = ['myAPI_KEY' => ['level' => 0, 'limit' => 1, 'time' => 60 * 60 * 24]];

With

$config['rest_limits_method'] = 'METHOD_NAME'; // put a limit on method calls

limits are based on the called method

$this->methods = ['method_name_get' => ['level' => 0, 'limit' => 1, 'time' => 60 * 60 * 24]];

With

$config['rest_limits_method'] = 'ROUTED_URL';  // put a limit on the routed URL

limits are based on the URL (without the format extension but with the HTTP_METHOD) and the method which is the best option in my opinion

$this->methods = ['method_name_get' => ['level' => 0, 'limit' => 1, 'time' => 60 * 60 * 24]];
