Public bug reported:

Right now it's possible for me to attempt to send a 140-character tweet
when I've attached an image. Birdie then silently fails, not sending the
tweet even though it looks like it sends. Instead, Birdie should
calculate the number of characters remaining when I attach an image (140
minus what I've typed minus the length of the image link).

One possible way of doing this is to start uploading the image right
when I attach it and replace the characters remaining with a spinner
signaling that it's being calculated. As soon as the image URL comes
back, subtract its length from the remaining character length.
