"signal-cli register --reregister" → RegistrationRetryException

[Geremia]

I installed Signal on an Android device, then I got "User +xxxxxxxxxx is not registered" with signal-cli. Then I tried:

signal-cli register --reregister --captcha 'signalcaptcha://signal-hcaptcha.…'

verbose output

but it had no effect. I received the SMS code, but signal-cli didn't ask for it.
It still says:

$ signal-cli listDevices
User +xxxxxxxxxx is not registered.

Now I'm getting:

After registration you need to call the verify command with the verification code.
Calling the register command too many times results in a rate limiting.

@AsamK Even before the RegistrationRetryException rate-limiting exception, I was getting invalid captcha responses. This is with master (0.13.5-SNAPSHOT).
