Fix quote submission bug and update copyright notice

- Fixed config access in submit route (config.min_quote_length -> config.get('quotes.min_length'))
- Fixed Flask-Limiter initialization syntax
- Reduced minimum quote length from 10 to 1 character
- Updated copyright notice from '© ircquotes 2024, All Rights Reserved.' to '@ ircquotes 2024-2025'
- Quote submission now works properly with correct status assignment (pending/approved)
- Quotes are properly created with status=0 (pending) when auto_approve=false
