Update README.md to add differences with /x/time/rate#Limiter

[nikolaydubina]

I am curious what is advantages of this pkg vs https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/time/rate#Limiter

Might be good to document it visibly

@nikolaydubina Thanks for opening this issue.
The original library implements the classical "token bucket" algorithm, allowing a burst of tokens and a refill that happens at a specified ratio by one unit at a time.
This implementation, instead, is a variant that allows a burst of tokens just like "the token bucket" algorithm, but the refill happens entirely at the defined ratio.
This allows scanners to respect maximum defined rate limits, pause until the allowed interval hits, and then process again at maximum speed. The original library slowed down requests according to the refill ratio.

Good point about improving the documentation. we will do the following:

• Update README.md with the above description in a new section Differences with https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/time/rate#Limiter

Nice! Very clear now!
