[GNC] Unable to download more than 5 currency exchange rates

[Chris Good]

Hi Davy,

The problem with doing too many currency lookups in a short time should be
fixed in 
Finance::Quote 1.50 but I don't think there is any schedule for when that
will be.

The last part of the fix was committed on Mar 22, see
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/commits/master

Regards, Chris Good

I learnt this from AlphaVantage.pm and it may not be the best solution.
Adding a sleep(13) statement right before the" my $reply = $us->request"
(at around line 262) in the Quote.pm will solve the problem.
