Handle HTTP 429 responses with a request backoff approach

Since it's difficult to wrap all possible go-mastodon API calls in a backoff
algorithm outside of the package itself, I decided to implement a simple
version of it in go-mastodon's doAPI itself.

This works nicely, but could be improved in two ways still:

- Abort sleeping when context gets cancelled
- Make backoff optional / configurable

Personally, I still think this is a good start and probably fits most of
go-mastodon's use-cases. It certainly beats string-grepping for status code
"429" in clients.
