This PR adds automatic handling of RATE_LIMIT_HIT errors in the Zulip API client. When a rate limit error is encountered, the client will now automatically wait for the specified period (from the Retry-After header if available) and retry the request, rather than requiring each application to implement this logic separately.
Fixes: The issue where applications need to implement their own rate limit handling logic when using the Zulip API client.
