fix: address review feedback on PR #106

- Add 429 rate-limit retry logic to doJSONRequest (matching doRequest
  behavior) so write operations (PostReview, DismissReview) properly
  retry when rate-limited by GitHub
- Remove redundant explicit case for ReviewEventComment in
  translateReviewEvent (default already handles it)
- Add ordering comment on --gitea-url alias registration explaining
  the dependency on registration-before-parse evaluation order
- Add tests for doJSONRequest retry/exhaust behavior
