Better error handling in Autocomplete (online) challenge

Description

Why better error handling

• GitHub's REST API has a rate limit which is quite low (10 requests per minute) if unauthenticated requests are being made. [https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/search/search?apiVersion=2022-11-28#rate-limit].
• There seems to be code for handling errors from the API, but that code is essentially unreachable. This results in the message "No results found" being shown even when the API responds with a 403. This can be confusing for the users when they are searching for a valid username but seeing this message on the screen.

Additional Context

Suggesstion

When the rate limit is breached, the API responds with the epoch time at which we can start making requests again. This is under the "x-ratelimit-reset" header. This can be used to convey to the user the actual problem, and how soon can they start making requests again. This would be much better than showing the message "No results found" for a perfectly valid username.
