📄 Description

When the Web API responds with a status code of 429 it sets the Retry-After header to let you know how long to wait before retrying. https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/user-guide/#rate-limiting

This PR honours that header and defaults back to the original delay variable if not present.

requests headers use a case insensitive dictionary so we don't have to worry about the case that Spotify respond with.
