Let's put this into a new section, and also remove the tokenCount
+ comment above since that's no longer needed. This section can be used for other variables in the future like whether to try fetching accounts by itself, if so which proxy/proxies to use, jsonl file location, and some other tweaks to the auth handling.

I did not implement this. twitterminator does not allow you to negotiate the count, not in public api...
some features that are not implemented:

Add a basic way to automatically fetch guest accounts from an external URL if the internal stash is empty.
for example:
If those settings are configured, guest_accounts.json does not need to be present.
this serves the hashed Key under
/.well-known/nitter-auth-sha256
, while twitterminator expects it under/.twitterminator.txt
. If this approach is accepted I'll update twitterminator to look for the new path too.
