Adds a comprehensive quota management system for LLM models that allows: - Se…tting per-group token and usage limits with configurable durations - Tracking and enforcing token/usage limits across user groups - Quota reset periods (hourly, daily, weekly, or custom) - Admin UI for managing quotas with real-time updates - Full test coverage for quota models and controllers This system provides granular control over LLM API usage by allowing admins to define limits on both total tokens and number of requests per group. Supports multiple concurrent quotas per model and automatically handles quota resets. ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/76375c76-889d-438b-b464-e65c7f7a41ed) ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/21752366-2b33-4fb7-8b3f-faee74c45413) ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c7248930-0aa7-434e-805e-56adb7cbfb2f)
