shellex/Hotot — Issue #95: Allow to configure the update interval

Twitter has a limit of 350 requests per hour but Hotot lacks of an update frequency preference.
During the use of Hotot I obtain a lot of "Ooops an error occurred" (see https://github.com/shellex/Hotot/issues/80) errors and if I logs out from my account I cannot login to my twitter account anymore using Hotot.

Opening the app from the terminal, when I click the signup button I can see:
[Req] {"type":"GET","url":"https://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json?oauth_consumer_key=[...snip...]&oauth_version=1.0&source=Hotot","data":{}}
which URL points to a blank page showing:
{"error":"Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 350 requests per hour."

To avoid such continuous errors Hotot could provide a way to configure the update interval for the auto-update tabs.
If possible, the update interval should be configurable per window.

Application: Hotot
Version: 0.9.7.30
O.S.: Arch Linux
Notes: I use 12 tabs opened (Timeline, mentions, retweets, 3 following users, 6 lists), all with auto update setting enabled.
