Bye, Twitter Timeline

Code for #1100.

Does NOT contain docs changes.

The follow button is the only thing missing now, but if people have the share button, adding a follow button is only a matter of adding this html wherever they want it.

<a href="//twitter.com/username" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="true">Follow @username</a>

Since the necessary javascript is already there in _includes/twitter_sharing.html

  <script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
      var twitterWidgets = document.createElement('script');
      twitterWidgets.type = 'text/javascript';
      twitterWidgets.async = true;
      twitterWidgets.src = '//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';
      document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(twitterWidgets);
    })();
  </script>

Remove mention of App.net as a built-in and we're good to merge.

What happened? The issue referenced seems to have gone away. I was about to merge Octopress master into my blog but you guys removed the Twitter sidebar so...??

Also weird is that I cannot find these commits in https://github.com/imathis/octopress/commits/master (although they do show up in my local git history).

@domenic We are unable to provide support for Twitter's v1.1 API due to developer restrictions they placed on API users. Once the v1.0 API is phased out (in the next couple months), your Twitter sidebar will cease working.
