Twitter-status onebox error fix

There is an error in the twitter onebox code if some meta tags are missing. Apparently the Twitter HTML changed at some point and Murphy’s law kicked in.

I opened a PR that fixes the error and uses meta tags that exist (for now anyways). So basic twitter oneboxes should work once again assuming you don’t get blocked.

Yeah that twitter-component uses twitter’s javascript widget, while this restores the server-side method.
