Viktor VarlandandMateusz Burzyński 225a1e8cbc Add a throttling plugin to the used Octokit instance to retry requests after hitting secondary rate limits (#286)
* fix: prevent hitting github secondary rate limits

Adds the octokit plugin for throttling / rate-limiting to fix the
problem where action runs get blocked with a 403 error[1].

The `github.getOctokit`[2] function accepts a list of plugins, so this
passes in the `throttling` plugin[3] to be hooked into the octokit
instance.

It also needs some configuration to setup the `throttle` mechanisms,
passed in to the `getOctokit` function.

* refactor: change rate limit callback signatures

Based on additional docs, the callbacks seem to have changes to their
signatures[1]. This change aligns this implementation with the docs[2].

patch

This patch implements the @octokit/plugin-throttling plugin and wires it up with the internal GitHub Octokit instance.

This plugin is recommended by the Octokit docs as it implements all the GitHub best practices for integrators.

This should help with changesets/action gitting spurious secondary rate limits and failing CI jobs, for which the only known workaround is to simply re-run the job.
