Configurable rate limit backend

[fishtreesugar]

is it a good idea?

I would just replace ex_rated with Hammer completely, as the latter supersedes it and has pluggable backends itself. To have a pluggable backend which itself has pluggable backends looks like an anti-pattern (a knob on a knob)

I'll have a look at hammer and see if it might be a good replacement for ex_rated. At first glance I worry that using hammer would require the user to configure it in their app configuration, and I would prefer not to place that burden on the user. But I haven't looked into it very deeply yet, so I could be mistaken.

In any case, I wouldn't mind getting rid of the dependency on ex_rated and either use hammer (if it's a good fit) or possibly just roll my own rate-limiting implementation into external_service.

@jvoegele first of all thanks for this great library!

Is there any news on adding support to Hammer?
