this PR adds back support for legacy link colours by fetching profile data on the timeline and caching it in order to prevent rate limits. once a user has appeared on the timeline once, their colour (or lack thereof) is stored forever, and an XHR call will not be performed for them ever again. this works because you can't change your legacy link colour anymore.
it also increases the scroll height from the bottom required to trigger new tweets to appear. this change was done in order to mask the newfound latency in fetching user data and asynchronous extension storage reads, and fixes a bug where colours weren't fetched when the "Load more" button is clicked.
