What does this PR do?

remove twitter engine

Why is this change important?

twitter heavily restricted their web API: zedeus/nitter#919

you can't even access the tweets, nor search for tweets which is what we use

I think it's better to support nitter instances instead, as they try to keep up to date with the latest API changes: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter
