Merge pull request 'Fix #83: create API ignores boolean public field' (#88) from fix-83-public-false into main

GET ?password= and X-Paste-Password header checks in handleGetPaste were
unlimited (pentest2: 8 wrong = 8x401, no 429). Gate every password
verification on the same per-IP+paste unlock limiter (5/min, 429 with
Retry-After) already used by the POST unlock form path.

Regression tests: repeated wrong passwords via GET ?password= and via
header must eventually 429; correct password within burst still 200.

Fixes #81

 - `expires_in` is a Go duration string (`90m`, `6h`, `336h`). Omit for no expiry.
 - `visibility` is `public` or `unlisted`.
+- Alternatively (or additionally), `public` may be sent as a boolean (#83):
+  `false` maps to `unlisted` and `true` maps to `public`. When both fields are
+  present, the boolean `public` takes precedence over the string `visibility`.
+  Omitting both defaults to `public`.
 - `burn_after_reads` sets how many reads the paste survives (default 1 when
   `burn_after_read` is true). A read is counted per unique viewer session;
   the same viewer returning within 15 minutes does not count again.
