feat: add Central API clients, bot rate limiting, and admin API UI

- Add ITK_HP_API and ITK_Bot_API static classes with queue/flush/cron
- Add WP-Cron (5 min) + shutdown flush for both API queues
- Bot Blocker and Honeypot now queue events to their respective APIs
- Admin: Bot Blocker tab gains Central Bot API settings panel
  (enable, URL, token, test connection, flush queue, historical sync)
- Admin: Honeypot tab gains Central Honeypot API settings panel
- Admin JS: AJAX handlers for Test Connection and Flush Now buttons
- Admin CSS: API card styles (status badge, notices, footer controls)
- Add .gitignore (excludes bot-api/ which lives in CloudHost/bot-api)
