Scrape tweets from restricted users #1

Description

As said in rjshanahan/twitter_scraper#2 and jonbakerfish/TweetScraper#21 among other places,
Restricted twitter accounts like https://twitter.com/hjackiec57 ,
are inaccessible through advanced searching, and can only be accessed if the browser has logged in.

Some clues: Login just like https://gist.github.com/momota10/969d904b4cad239da2a5c00df1ad87e7, go to https://twitter.com/settings/safety, and then check the box in
<input name="search-settings-nsfw" checked="" class="SearchSettings-toggleInput SearchSettings-toggleInput--sensitive" type="checkbox">, and after that click the button in <button id="settings_save" class="EdgeButton EdgeButton--primary EdgeButton--medium" type="submit" disabled="">Save changes</button> to set it so that "clicking into restricted accounts" becomes unnecessary.
