Instaloader

- `Profile.from_id()` now works anonymously even for private profiles
- Fix retry logic for download of files (235)
- Include `iphone_struct` information in saved profile JSON
- Proper handling of rarely occuring HTTP redirects when loading Posts (225)

- **Fix downloading of HD profile pictures** (209)

Unfortunately, it is now required to be logged in to access the HD version of profile pictures. When attempting to download profile pictures without --login, a warning message is printed once, and the lower-quality versions are obtained.

For backwards compatibility, already-downloaded profile pictures are overwritten if the now-obtainable version is assumed to be of better quality than the existing one (determined by file size vs Content-Length).

- Fix rare KeyError when downloading profile pictures that don't have a Last-Modified header (188)

- Support login with two-factor authentication (2FA) (200)
- Download posts by location with `%location_id` (contributed by stijn-uva in 212)
- `--commit-mode` to ensure pictures are not corrupted when Instaloader is
unexpectedly interrupted (contributed by sushilicious in 139)

As reported in 209, the API endpoint that was used to access the HD profile picture URL has been removed. Until we encounter a new way to get the HD profile picture, Instaloader will download a low-resolution version of profile pictures.
