⚠️ Legacy APIs must be migrated to new ones within 5 months!

[inb4ohnoes]

Twitter is turning off many legacy APIs, including:

User Streams
Site Streams
GET direct_messages
GET direct_messages/sent
GET direct_messages/show
POST direct_messages/destroy

STTwitter should be updated to take advantage of the new set of APIs by June 19th. Otherwise existing endpoints this library provides will become broken. If STTwitter will not be updated, I believe this library should be marked "unsupported"...

As of April 6, Twitter announced the following: https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/statuses/982346370882461696
"Last year we announced our plan to retire Site Streams & User Streams, and replace them with the Account Activity API (currently in beta). We are delaying the scheduled June 19th deprecation date.
As always, we’re committed to providing ample time to migrate. We will provide at least 90 days notice of deprecation date from when the Account Activity API becomes generally available to all developers. More specifics on timing to come.
Developers currently using Site Streams and User Streams can review how to migrate to the Account Activity API with our migration guide.
As a reminder, developers who want beta access to the Account Activity API can still apply."

Legacy Twitter APIs should be marked as deprecated in STTwitter. I'll do it myself or accept pull requests for that.

The new Twitter APIs called Account Activity should be implemented. For now I understand that developers must register, which I did not. I'll accept pull requests, or implement the relevant methods when the API is becomes generally available to developers.

However, it looks like that the Account Activity API is based on "web hooks" which is not suitable for app developers.
