Title: Add support for tweet entities

Utilizing [tweet entities](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-entities) improves the UI in ways that would otherwise be impossible:

- More meaningful "display URL" in place of shortened `t.co` links
- Proper formatting of user Twitter names (i.e. "Bocoup" instead of "BoCoup")
- Title text (usually accessible via mouseover on desktops)
- Associate fully-qualified URLs with "display URLs"
- Associate user's name with @mentions

Users can still opt-in to the original expansion behavior by setting the `include_entities` option to false. I think that logic should be removed altogether (eliminating the dependency on JavaScript Linkify). I'm happy to do it as part of this pull request, but I wanted to check first.
