since_id support for home-timeline

[simonw]

Currently every time you run home-timeline we pull all 800 available tweets. We should offer to support since_id (which can be provided or can be pulled directly from the database) in order to work more efficiently if this command is executed e.g. on a cron.

since_id documented here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/timelines/api-reference/get-statuses-home_timeline

Returns results with an ID greater than (that is, more recent than) the specified ID. There are limits to the number of Tweets which can be accessed through the API. If the limit of Tweets has occured since the since_id, the since_id will be forced to the oldest ID available.

The --since option will derive the since_id from the max ID in the timeline_tweets table:

$ twitter-to-sqlite home-timeline --since

The --since_id=xxx option lets you specify that ID directly.
