feat: add rate limit error handling to CivArchive client

- Add RateLimitError import and exception handling in API methods
- Create _make_request wrapper to surface rate limit errors from downloader
- Add test case to verify rate limit error propagation
- Set default provider as "civarchive_api" for rate limit errors

This ensures rate limit errors are properly propagated and handled throughout the CivArchive client, improving error reporting and allowing callers to implement appropriate retry logic.
