Warn if running cloud checks with GitHub remotes and 1000s of checks #274

You can easily exhaust the PAT if you are trying to check a development package with a GitHub remote. A workaround is to use a URL remote as mentioned in the vignette https://github.com/r-lib/revdepcheck/blob/bcdf424ebc3adc279d6198f32cb4317507e7fac3/vignettes/cloud.Rmd#L41

But this is easy to forget.

We could instead issue a warning if you try to check a package with a GitHub remote and lots of reverse dependencies.
