Description
The Overpass-API enforces rate-limits. When rebuilding challenges this often results in a "Too Many Requests" error message:
Too Many Requests:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Maproulette should have a queue for requests to the overpass api and work around the rate limits.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Overpass-API request entry points in the JavaScript frontend and review how challenge rebuilding currently handles responses. The work is done when requests are queued and rate limits are handled so rebuilding avoids the reported "Too Many Requests" errors; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
