fix(twitter): update twscrape monkey patch for JS bundle format change

Twitter changed the JS bundle structure from the old single-map format
(e=>e+"."+{...}[e]+"a.js") to a new two-map format
(u.u=e=>""+(({name})[e]||e)+"."+({hash})[e]+"a.js"), breaking
x-client-transaction-id generation.

This caused IndexError: list index out of range, which twscrape
interpreted as an account timeout (15-min lockout), preventing Miku
from fetching/sharing tweets.

The fix adds:
- A robust multi-pattern parser that tries known formats in order
- The _js_obj_to_dict helper from PR #303 for handling unquoted numeric
  keys and scientific notation in JS object literals
- Debug logging to capture the JS snippet when ALL patterns fail,
  making future breakage easier to diagnose

# utils/twscrape_fix.py
"""
Monkey patch for twscrape to fix "Failed to parse scripts" error.
Twitter started returning malformed JSON with unquoted keys.
See: https://github.com/vladkens/twscrape/issues/284
Monkey patch for twscrape to fix parsing of Twitter's JS bundle.
Fixes two known issues:
1. Issue #284: Malformed JSON with unquoted keys
(old fix, kept for backward compatibility)
2. Issue #302: Twitter changed JS bundle format, breaking x-client-transaction-id
generation. The old format 'e=>e+"."+{...}[e]+"a.js"' changed to
'u.u=e=>""+(({...})[e]||e)+"."+({...})[e]+"a.js"'
Fix from: https://github.com/vladkens/twscrape/pull/303
Without this patch, twscrape raises IndexError and locks accounts for 15 minutes.

Fixed version that handles Twitter's changing JS bundle format.

1. Try to find the script map using generic regex patterns

there's always a JavaScript object literal mapping chunk IDs to hashes,
