[BUG] `Client.media_edit()` failing with server returning a challenge with no [challenge][api_path] and status "fail"

[kaijif]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. When I try to edit a post, the Instagram servers reply with {'message': 'challenge_required', 'status': 'fail'}. Instagrapi attempts to get the challenge value, however, it does not exist. Therefore, it fails with KeyError: 'challenge' This only occurs on some accounts, others work fine. Also, when posting, the captions do not show up on posts. To Reproduce Provide a piece of code to reproduce the problem.

client.media_edit(post_to_edit.id, caption="some caption")

I can't reproduce, can you fix it yourself and send me PR?

[kaijif]

I would, but I'm not sure what's going wrong... I'm a bit new to this, do you have any ideas?
