Support for 429 rate limit response #970

Description

@theknut

When hitting a rate limit configured in the GitLab instance, the api throws a GitLabException

GitLabException: GitLab server returned an error (TooManyRequests): Response cannot be deserialized (429 - Too many requests, see: https://gitlab.example.com/settings/#rate-limits
). Original call: Get https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/:projectid/jobs/:jobid/trace

The retry-after header provides the wait time for the client. Please implement a retry after the specified timeout to handle rate limits.
