Ability to set user limits

[strk]

It would be useful to set per-user (or per user-group) limits, things like:

• Allowed disk space occupation for repositories
• Number of PR/issues/comments per day/week/month/total

[bkcsoft]

number of issues/comments isn't really useful in any setup, attachment restrictions would be better in that case (I think we have those already). As for disk-space and how many repos one user/org can have, 👍

[strk]

Number (and size) of issues/comments affect disk space (think of a comment flooding attack)

[bkcsoft]

In that case rate-limiting makes more sense, and is IMO out-of-scope for Gitea ;)

You could protect against a flood attack with something like sshguard or fail2ban. I think that the number of repositories and the size of said repositories is the main thing that we need the option for a limit on.

I've created an issue for the size limit (#3658) to better discuss / organize the design of the size limit.
