[Flaky test] openedx/core/djangoapps/user_authn/views/tests/test_logistration.py::LoginAndRegistrationTest::test_login_and_registration_form_ratelimited

[timmc-edx]

This test fails intermittently and has been deleted according to the Flaky Test Process in #32459.

See docs on how to address flaky tests for why this should be fixed and how to go about it.

Notes copied from deletion PR:

• [idea] It is unclear whether it would pass if it were tried one more time, or given a little more sleep, but maybe the test could be written so if the 429 isn't seen when expected, it does a very small sleep and tries one last time. Or, maybe there is a real bug in the rate limiting code and real failures to rate limit might occur at times?
  • If you choose the workaround in place of looking to see if there is a real flaky bug, then you should comment next to the workaround that if it ever fails, we should really look into whether this is a bug that is not self-healing with our security code.
• [idea] Rerunning the test many times in a tight loop locally may help duplicate?
