[Security] make secret required for DefaultLoginRateLimiter
The `secret` parameter has been added in #51434 with a default value of
`''` and a deprecation message that it is required / may not be empty.
Which is fine and doesn't hurt backwards compatiblity.

The later ticket #52469 changes the deprecation into an exception, as it
is undesirable that no secret is used (in any scenario). This leads to
the unintended side effect that there is a BC breakage when a developer
manually creates a `DefaultLoginRateLimiter` as it is now actually
required to provide a (non empty) value due to the check and exception.

Allowing the service / class to be used without providing the secret
parameter, in a backwards compatible manner, but then still breaking the
backwards compatibility by throwing due to the default value is
confusing. So making the `secret` required makes more sense from a
developer perspective as it is clear in that the parameter must be
provided.
