Adds a new option that can be used to set a maximum number of commits that branch-diff should work with prior to starting requesting GitHub APIs. This is an essential feature to help releasers avoid exceeding GitHub API secondary rate limit.

Last time I had to fight GitHub API secondary rate limits for a very long-lived LTS release I ended up writing this (based on knowledge shared from @BethGriggs) to help me unblock retrieving a list of commits from branch-diff.
Although it might be functional, the current API here is very clunky and requires the user to find out how many commits are already ignored in order to provide that value to
skip-commitsand from a combination ofskip-commitsandlimit-commitshopefully cut out a limited enough series of commit that will not trigger GitHub API limits.Opening this as a draft so that we can discuss better alternatives.
