Support for json file [twitter]

[Doshirae]

Currently, the system only allows the upload of the zip archive.

But that archive contains all the medias ever posted, so the zip is quite massive, and I guess there's no reason for it, wouldn't only the tweet.js json file be sufficient ?

I tried to bypass it making an archive out of my json file, but I get The file you uploaded is not a valid tweet archive. No posts have been imported.

if your archive contains media, that's not the kind of archive forget supports

forget expects "your tweet archive" from https://twitter.com/settings/account#tweet_export, not "your twitter data" from https://twitter.com/settings/your_twitter_data

unfortunately, twitter adding this new kind of archive made it real confusing, and I think asking people to fish out a specific file from the archive, but only if they have this kind of archive, would make it worse. I added not too long ago a warning if the file you select looks big enough to be the wrong kind
