Expecting JSON response for rate limit exceeded scenario

[checkaayush]

Expected Behavior

A JSON response should be returned:

{
  "_status": "ERR",
  "_error": {
    "code": 429,
    "message": "Rate Limit exceeded"
  }
}

Actual Behavior

Text message saying Rate limit exceeded is returned with the code 429.

Environment

• Python version: 3.5.x
• Eve version: 0.8.1

Would be happy to submit a PR if JSON response was the expected behavior. If not, is there any advantage in sending a text response instead?
