Detect LinkedIn Easy Apply daily limit and stop run

Browse Source 
When LinkedIn shows "Easy Apply limit" message, detect it in the
modal-open check, return rate_limited status, put job back in queue,
send Telegram alert, and stop the entire run. Prevents burning retries
and wasting browser sessions when rate limited.
