Changelog and Bug Fixes v1.3.3

Support longer tweets in a few more places
Properly escape ampersand characters in user mentions to fix GtkLabel warnings about wrong escape characters in tooltips
Fix tweet length calculations for whitespace-only tweets
Check for duplicated entries in media arrays. This is apparently a problem on Twitter’s side but led to crashes in Corebird
Use the correct nsfw status of a tweet, i.e. the one that can actually show images.
Fix a crash when sending a tweet with multiple images attached
Fix tweet length calculation of quote tweets. This previously led to tweets getting rejected by the server even though Corebird claimed they were fine.
