Flickr's limit is an hourly window, so backing off one photo for a couple
of minutes and then hitting the next photo at the old rate just fails
again, which is how a full fetch gave up on photos after six attempts. A
429 on a paced request now doubles the pace for every later flickr call,
up to ten seconds, and the pace relaxes back to the configured value only
after twenty untroubled requests. The per-request backoff also starts at
fifteen seconds instead of five, caps at fifteen minutes, and gets eight
attempts, so a single photo can wait out a short window on its own.
