[racket] Github API in Racket

Hi Animesh,

You're on the right track in using the API for getting data from
github. I've written a wrapper already that covers some parts of the
github api, but far from all of it. You can see the code here:
https://github.com/samth/github.rkt and you can install it with `raco
pkg install github`. Like I said, there's lots missing there, and so
I'd love help in filling out more of the API -- I've really only
written the parts I've needed in the past.
