Shorten HTTP timeout for Twitter API calls, detect and handle timeout #12

Currently if the Twitter API call times out (which happens on a not infrequent basis) the whole CLI tool hangs for a long time before dumping exceptions to STDERR.

Shorten the timeout and detect when calls have timed out. Retry timed out calls within reason and fail gracefully as required.
