How does BoostonCP prevent Let's Encrypt API Rate Limits?

We host over 500 domains on a single server, and when we did a full migration, we hit the Let's Encrypt weekly limit. Does BCP have local backup SSL caching?

If you look at the core commands wrapper, BCP executes `sudo /usr/bin/booston-core install_letsencrypt_ssl` which uses a local backup caching mechanism under `/etc/ssl/booston_backup/` to avoid calling LE API repeatedly if a valid cert already exists locally.

Aha! That backup logic is brilliant. Very clean architecture.
