Please make refresh interval configurable via Preferences

I assume that the indicator is contacting the weather services not more frequently than once an hour. If this actually happens more frequently, then I would certainly like to reduce it to once an hour.
So, ideally, there should be a "Refresh interval" added to Preferences to allow users to set this to their liking. Some people may prefer to have refresh more frequently, like once in half an hour.
Currently, API call interval is every 15 minutes. Unless the Openweather blocks the Eris service due to high usage as it is currently running on a free account.
I don't think the interval should be user configurable, if there is not a weather change the user wouldn't notice anything until the condition change and/or switching network.
Adding that option will possibly cause a big issue and that is getting blocked by Openweather more frequently. If only a small margin of users set the interval to let say every 2 minutes. Once that happens the service will be disrupted for all users because of few, accidentally, set a short interval.
Ok, every 15 minutes is perfectly adequate. I thought it was much more frequent than that when I opened this issue :)
