Git, curl, and other tools already offer support for loading credentials from ~/.netrc, namely when interacting with GitHub. This uses the netrc gem to play along. This is implemented as a fallback, in case a token is not found in the gist-specific file. Fixes defunkt#260.

This is implemented as a fallback, in case a token is not found in the gist-specific file. To avoid adding gem dependencies, the netrc library is imported from https://github.com/heroku/netrc into the vendor folder. It is licensed under the MIT license, the same as this project. The standalone script build/gist was regenerated and pulls in missing changes in addition to the netrc dependency. Fixes defunkt#260.

Various applications are able to read credentials from
~/.netrcfiles, and there's a library offering support for reading and writing these files from ruby: https://github.com/heroku/netrc.It would be good to consolidate credentials for the gist tool into that file and depend on a library built for managing credentials.
