[v1.2.3] Fix private default value in CLI

Patch release for #3618 by @​Wauplin.

When creating a new repo, we should default to private=None instead of private=False. This is already the case when using the API but not when using the CLI. This is a bug likely introduced when switching to Typer. When defaulting to None, the repo visibility will default to False except if the organization has configured repos to be "private by default" (the check happens server-side, so it shouldn't be hardcoded client-side).

v1.2.1: Smarter Rate Limit Handling, Daily Papers API and more QoL improvements!

🚦 Smarter Rate Limit Handling

We've improved how the huggingface_hub library handles rate limits from the Hub. When you hit a rate limit, you'll now see clear, actionable error messages telling you exactly how long to wait and how many requests you have left.

HfHubHTTPError: 429 Too Many Requests for url: https://huggingface.co/api/models/username/reponame.
Retry after 55 seconds (0/2500 requests remaining in current 300s window).

When a 429 error occurs, the SDK automatically parses the RateLimit header to extract the exact number of seconds until the rate limit resets, then waits precisely that duration before retrying. This applies to file downloads (i.e. Resolvers), uploads, and paginated Hub API calls (list_models, list_datasets, list_spaces, etc.).

More info about Hub rate limits in the docs 👉 here.

• Parse rate limit headers for better 429 error messages by @​hanouticelina in #3570
• Use rate limit headers for smarter retry in http backoff by @​hanouticelina in #3577
• Harmonize retry behavior for metadata fetch and HfFileSystem by @​hanouticelina in #3583
• Add retry for preupload endpoint by @​hanouticelina in #3588
• Use default retry values in pagination by @​hanouticelina in #3587
