python3 okta api example single threaded; no async required

okta_api_requests_example.py

# The python3 okta SDK is ridiculously complex requiring threading via async for even the most basic uses.
# The requests library is more than sufficient.
#
# The Okta API is somewhat sensitive to flooding and will throw a 429 error, so we'll add in some retry
# logic to help.
#
# Required environment variables (these correspond to the Terraform provider)
#   OKTA_ORG_NAME   - usually the first part of your Okta domain name ie 'mycorp'
#   OKTA_BASE_URL   - usually 'okta.com'
#   OKTA_API_TOKEN  - your API token, what Okta expects to come after 'SSWS' in the authorization header
#
