- `inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name` is one LARGE way for finding out
current function's name but it does not involve any private functions
being called publicly
- still PHP has __FUNCTION__ for this purpose ...

Continued:
- introduced get_url() which uses urllib.parse() to wrap invocation around
get_response() nicely
- so all reqto.get|post() invocations are now centralized for later easy
expansion with SOCKS proxy support

- add argument --single to commands.fetch_instances() which only fetches given
instance
- int() doesn't "magically" turn NoneType to 0, PHP would do it, so let's handle
this here by ourself

Continued:
- introduced argparse which is a more flexible way of handling command-line
arguments
- moved all commands to fba/command.py you can now access them through
$ ./fba.py <command>
- please use --help to see which commands are all supported, you can also use
it on a single command to get all supported arguments

- some APIs return the same result at the end all over again
- so we need to check if the domain is already part of the created list
- for that purpose has_element() is introduced

Continued:
- introduced json_from_response() which handles decoding errors, e.g. when
a server has returned a HTML instead of a JSON which is caused by improper
error handling

Continued:
- the value from "misskey_offset" went into "limit" parameter, so let's rename
it to "misskey_limit"
- also misskey may return same set of results, so this need to be counted and
then the while loop aborted
- also TIME() did NOT store timestamp, we need to use time.time() again ...

Continued:
- there are no private variables or methods, all is public
- there is however a notation, that a leading _ indicates private access and
that you should search for getters/setters

"instances" which needs to be fetched and then these trolls need to be
ignored

update_nodeinfos(), other functions are just wrappers to fill proper array
