Change sleep interval between requests

Browse Source 
These are now adapted to how many requests have already been done. With
the current settings, Instaloader does not more than

12 request in the first ten seconds,
28 requests in the first minute,
40 requests in the first two minutes,
63 requests in the first five minutes,
90 requests in the first ten minutes,
and after that 50 requests per ten minutes.

This should make it less likely that Instaloader is rate-limited by
Instagram, while still being fast if downloading only a few posts.

Further, option --no-sleep is hidden in --help output and README.rst.
