evazion da84e3a2f2 twitter: replace twitter gem with our own API client. ...

The twitter gem had several problems:

* It's been unmaintained for over a year.
* It pulled in a lot of dependencies, many of which were outdated. In
  particular, it locked the `http` gem to version 3.3, preventing us
  from upgrading to 4.2.
* It raised exceptions on normal error conditions, like for deleted
  tweets or suspended users, which we really don't want.
* We had to wrap it to provide caching.

Changes:

* Fixes #4226 (Exception when creating new artists entries for suspended
  Twitter accounts)
* Drop support for scraping images from summary cards. Summary cards
  are the previews you get when you link to a website in a tweet. These
  preview images aren't always the best image.
