expose additional header values to the user in v3 API

See original GitHub issue

Some of the API end points in the v3 API (well, at least one https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/notifications/) add the field 'X-Poll-Interval' to the response header which they request users respect.

It looks like the headers are available in _make_request, but are dropped on the floor after extracting the cache-related and next page data.

@boralyl Hey, if you want to get the total number of issues and pull requests in a repository, you can get it in one call to GET /repos/:owner/:repo endpoint and the open_issues_count attribute will give you that.

Also, if you want only the pull requests count or the issue count you should use the search API. You can include a variety of conditions and there’s an attribute total_count which provides the count of your match.

Thanks for pointing these out, this does make things a little bit easier. One thing to note is that the open_issues_count includes all issues and pull requests, so you will need to subtract the pull requests to get the actual number open “issues”. For my use case this call worked to retrieve open pull requests: https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=repo:home-assistant/core+state:open+is:pr"
