Project import Github API rate limit is exceeded

Kassio Borges requested to merge github-rate-limit-on-project-import into master

What does this MR do?

related to: #26466 (closed)

The problem

  1. On gitlab, Go to https://gitlab.com/projects/new
  2. Click on "Import Project" tab
  3. Click on Github (I had it previously authorized, so no authentication was required)
  4. Got a 500 error - if the user doing the import exceeded the Github API rate limit (https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting)

The solution

When importing a project from Github, if the Github API rate limit is exceeded, show an error with the "reset_time" to the user, instead of a 500 error.

Follow up

This MR goal is to do the minimal change to fix the described problem. Another issue was created to discuss the improvement on this flow.
