Creating GIFs with imgur #496

The imgur API that was being used to create gifs redirects to a page where you have to manually enter the movie url.

If we're going to continue to support for making gifs with imgur, we'll have to make an account with imgur to get an API key and use the Image Upload API. I couldn't find any info on a video to gif API, so I'm not sure if this actually converts the video to a gif, or just uploads it as a video to imgur.

Since imgur's API requires a secret key, this will have to be implemented on helioviewer's API side with new configuration settings for holding the imgur secret key.
