Instead of polling each and every WebKit bug for every open GitHub PR, this instead uses a single query to fetch all bugs which have ever been marked as fixed. This has a significant impact on the number of requests made to the Bugzilla API, and should make it practical to enforce a rate limit which we previously did not have.

As a precursor to this, we also drop support for r+ and commit-queue+, given these are largely unused nowadays.

When almost all WebKit contributions are in GitHub PRs, looking at
these flags on Bugzilla is near useless.
Instead of fetching bug details individually for each WebKit export
PR, group them by bug ID and query for all bugs that have ever been
marked FIXED in a single API call. This significantly reduces the
number of API calls in the common case.
Serialize all bugs.webkit.org requests through a shared throttle so
outgoing calls are spaced at least 1 second apart, regardless of
caller.  This protects bugs.webkit.org from accidental bursts
(e.g. from the WebKit poller fanning out per-bug history fetches).
