1. Fix RefreshTokenException('Could not find the Guest token in HTML') …

   ABOUT THE PROBLEM
   
   This problem has recently begun to occur on some environments.
   This doesn't happen every time, so if you are lucky, you don't get the
   error.
   
   The cause is literally literally that twint could not find the Guest
   token in HTML.
   Actually, sometimes token isn't included in HTML recently.
   
       #!/usr/bin/env python3
       # This program is WTFPL.
       import requests
   
   res = requests.get('https://twitter.com')
   print(res.text.split('\n')[-1])
   twint require the result of running the above code is })();</script><script nonce="VALUE">document.cookie = decodeURIComponent("gt=VALUE; Max-Age=VALUE; Domain=.twitter.com; Path=/; Secure");</script>.
   However, sometimes the result is only })();</script> and missing the
   Guest token.
   
   ABOUT THE SOLUTION
   
   In this patch, twint get the Guest token from
   https://api.twitter.com/1.1/guest/activate.json if could not find the
   one.

   > I don't understand session of requests, so the code may be not good.
   > I hope someone rewrite the patch better and create a pull request.
