Add Global Rate Limiting to External API Calls

[KKSurendran06]

Currently, tasks in the bot (e.g., fetch_members, increment_streak, etc.) make unbounded requests without any form of rate limiting. This can easily overwhelm the backend.

I would like to take this up

[KKSurendran06]

Sure ; )

1. Isn't it better to have rate-limits enforced on the server-side?
2. The way to prevent sending tons of request is to batch them together into one request, which would require a new mutation that can take a list of members and increment or decrement their streak. IIRC everything else is batched properly and only needs one request.

Should be possible to batch requests now with amfoss/root#143
