TASK DESCRIPTION
  **Drop read throttling for wiki sites**. Read thottling was introduced with 
Pywikibot 1.0 to throttle read access to wikis because screen scraping was used 
to retrieve data. Now we have  API access and read throttling is not needed any 
longer. The `minthrottle` is set o 0 and I have no information that someone 
uses that variable with other values.
  
  Read throttling is usefull for foreign web pages identified by its url but 
not by the site. See T152350 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152350> where 
connections to the same host are throttled.
