Mastodon thread sync and escaping user names

This release comes with small improvements during the last year:

1. Mastodon post threads are now fully synced to Twitter
2. A Docker image is now available to run this tool, documented in README.md (#41)
3. Long quote tweets that would exceed Mastodon's 500 character limit are now shortened before posting to Mastodon

Twitter thread sync

This release comes with a new feature: synchronization of Twitter thread replies (#35)! If you reply to your own post on Twitter then your replies will by synchronized to Mastodon to make the same thread of posts. This is only implemented for the direction Twitter ==> Mastodon for now, the reverse does not exist yet.

Bugfixes:

• Mastodon thread replies are not synchronized as standalone tweets
• mobile.twitter.com links in quote tweets are now detected correctly

Twitter file upload bugfix

Fixes a bug with Twitter attachment uploads.

Support retweets of quote tweets

Minor release. Retweets of quote tweets are now supported better in the sync functionality. The text of the quote tweet will be copied to Mastodon instead of a Twitter link.

Sync on hashtag

Minor release with a new feature: you can now specify a hashtag (or any string) that must be included in your tweet or toot in order to be synced. Example: You post a tweet "This will also be synced to Mastodon #masto" and have the configuration option sync_hashtag = "#masto" enabled for Twitter. Then this tweet will be copied to Mastodon, but other tweets that do not contain "#masto" will not be copied.
