Description

It seems that the ternary condition inside of AuthenticatedSessionController is inverted for EnsureLoginIsNotThrottled verification.

Location: https://github.com/laravel/fortify/blob/a725684d17959c4750f3b441ff2e94ecde7793a1/src/Http/Controllers/AuthenticatedSessionController.php#L85-L91

It should like below:

        return (new Pipeline(app()))->send($request)->through(array_filter([
            config('fortify.limiters.login') ? EnsureLoginIsNotThrottled::class : null,
            config('fortify.lowercase_usernames') ? CanonicalizeUsername::class : null,
            Features::enabled(Features::twoFactorAuthentication()) ? RedirectIfTwoFactorAuthenticatable::class : null,
            AttemptToAuthenticate::class,
            PrepareAuthenticatedSession::class,
        ]));

Fortify own lockout handler is needed for different scenarios

Ideal scenario / my proposal

Have both protections by having different throttle configs for the Laravel middleware and Fortify own handler. We can have a smaller throttle rate for Fortify's own handler and a greater one for the middleware just in case of brute force.

Steps To Reproduce

Make sure to have the limiters defined in config/fortify.php as follows:
```
'limiters' => [
    'login' => 5,
    'two-factor' => 5,
],
```
Remove the throttle middleware from the Route::post(RoutePath::for('login', '/login') keeping everything else as is, see below: (Fortify has its own throttle error handlers, it shouldn't need to rely on Laravel defaults throttle middleware)
```
Route::post(RoutePath::for('login', '/login'), [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'store'])
    ->middleware(array_filter([
        'guest:'.config('fortify.guard')
    ]));
```
Now attempt multiple logins passing the limiter mark, you can try even 20 times. You'll never see the error "Too many login attempts. Please try again in X seconds.".
Now go to the default AuthenticatedSessionController in Fortify changing the line for the EnsureLoginIsNotThrottled below to config('fortify.limiters.login') ? EnsureLoginIsNotThrottled::class : null. Just invert it. https://github.com/laravel/fortify/blob/a725684d17959c4750f3b441ff2e94ecde7793a1/src/Http/Controllers/AuthenticatedSessionController.php#L85-L87
Now try to log in multiple times, at some point, you'll see the error "Too many requests. Please try again in X seconds.".
