TASK DESCRIPTION
Using touch.py with my non-bot (non-admin, just autopatroller) account on
Wikimedia Commons, I quickly started getting the following warnings/errors:
WARNING: API error ratelimited: As an anti-abuse measure, you are limited
from performing this action too many times in a short space of time, and you
have exceeded this limit. Please try again in a few minutes.
ERROR: Page [[File:Anson Technical Institute General Catalog (1972-1974) -

The attempted purges were not being saved, but Pywikibot was also not doing
the normal sleeping to throttle the requests. Instead, it was just repeating
the attempted purge through each page in the list without any slowing.
My guess is that this is caused by the purge rate limit being lower than the
edit rate limit, and touch.py not handling that correctly?
