GitHub API rate-limit may cause tflint without .tflint.hcl to fail
```
$ tflint_default_config
[INFO] No tflint config found, injecting default one
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 403 rate limit exceeded
```
Without `.tflint.hcl` file, template need to call api.github.com to guess latest versions.
Those calls are subject to GitHub rate-limiting causing job to fail.
