Allow users to upload images, or enter URLs which the application then fetches, and store them "locally". On Heroku, that would probably mean in S3; if we switch to a VPS, then we could store them on the filesystem (this might be the issue that causes us to switch away from Heroku; see also #11).

This is valuable because some image hosts, such as Twitter, are automatically blocked in Firefox - see their article about tracking protection.

Thanks to @ihross for helping to discover this issue!

This is closely related to #26, but whereas #26 could be solved by accepting URLs to images hosted elsewhere, this would involve hosting the images directly.
