Twitter extractor (slightly) broken, for some accounts will loop endlessly.

I'm very sure its isolated to v1.11.0 and later. probably #448 caused it.

Not sure what the conditions it is to trigger the infinite cycling but https://twitter.com/morimokimori is an example of one that does. https://files.catbox.moe/i0qh3c.png It goes from 118... to 120... then back to 118... to 120... rinse and repeat

I appreciate the new addition, hope this doesn't discourage improvements, its just a oversight and i've noticed this only occurs to quite a small proportion of users.

The infinite loop for https://twitter.com/morimokimori doesn't happen for me. Could you post a verbose log file for what happens when you try to download from that URL?

$ gallery-dl --verbose --write-log log.txt https://twitter.com/morimokimori

I was able to reproduce it. It gets stuck at this URL for me
https://twitter.com/i/profiles/show/morimokimori/timeline/tweets?include_available_features=1&include_entities=1&max_position=1188111843300036608&reset_error_state=false&lang=en
For some reason this last page gives
"min_position":null, "has_more_items": true
It doesn't stop because it thinks there is more items but it sets the next position back to the beginning, therefore looping forever.

And I'm getting {"min_position":"996018711524917248","has_more_items":false, from that URL
Weird, but at least it's easy to fix.

@pxssy Is this still happening with v1.12.0 or did 07dafad fix it for you?
