Subject: fix: Rate limit (#27)

* [chore] adding electron-fetch dependency

* [feat] adding requests module skeleton

* [feat] not doing any http request to get latest ns version if data is fresh

* [fix] data is considered fresh if less than 5 minutes old

* [feat] adding requests.getLatestNsVersionLink implementation

* [refactor] fully using requests module (with associated cache)

* [docs] adding documentation to requests module

* [refactor] adding a key to get nsLatestRelease cache results

* [chore] removing request deprecated dependency

* [feat] using follow-redirects instead of electron-fetch

* [chore] removing electron-fetch dependency

* fixed formatting

Single quotes to double, proper textwidth for comments, and proper
comment style, the usual... Nothing special here...

* fixed wrong location for requests.json

We don't want to clutter people's config folder, hence we should use the
cache folder instead...
