Hardcoding this singleton access seems weird. At minimum can we pass it in?

we should probably use ImgurUploadMode (raw) values for this and "PostImages" below.

is it possible to use ImageHostingProvider here instead of a plain String? I thought AppStorage could handle that but maybe I'm wrong.

We set a custom user-agent in Awful proper, would be nice to reuse that here. Could pass it in to the initializer maybe.

thinking more about this. I don’t think we should forcibly move people over if they’ve manually chosen imgur. I do like changing the default for when nothing has been chosen.
if we still want to give a little push for people who intentionally chose imgur, maybe a one time alert somewhere suggesting the change and offering to make it?

This PR adds a new option to upload images to PostImages.org instead of Imgur. I've also taken away the option to completely disable image uploads since that caused some confusion.
The new option is under "Settings" under "Image Hosting". Postimages is made the default, and there's a little bit of text explaining the reason for the migration.
Imgur is still available in case users have a strong preference for it, and a protocol was put down in case we want to add other image hosts later.
The rational:
Imgur has been getting less reliable. Recent company layoffs, and the SSO for authentication has been hit or miss. See https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3837546&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=215#post547839086
