Imgur unavailable in the UK

The image hosting service Imgur is no longer accessible in the UK.
It's easy to do a web search on this topic, for example:
https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/article … ed-Kingdom
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

This affects BunsenLabs because the image upload utilities we ship use Imgur by default - both our in-house scripts and the xfce4-screenshooter.

Eventually, once we know this is permanent, we will have to provide different scripts, but in the meantime we request BunsenLabs forum users who want their images to be viewable in the UK to upload them to some other service.
