Switch from checking a github url for a 404, to using the GitHub API #32

When I first implemented https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/backdrop_upgrade_status/issues/8 I discovered that the GitHub API is rate-limited for anonymous requests, so I switched to checking the url for a 404 to see if the project exists in backdrop-contrib instead.

I would prefer that we use the API, but that could be complicated if the requests are coming from any number of unique locations. Opening this issue to brainstorm possible ways to make this work.
