1. should get rid of severe consequences (such as not sending updates) imposed by telegram for not handling rate limits on methods such as getChatAdministrators, editMessage, etc.
2. should allow us to get rid of the annoying global old_update check, by at least pushing it into time sensitive commands, such as antiflood, which is currently broken #403. Rate limiting users does not only handle situations such as returning from an extended downtime but also deals with users spamming commands and so on.
