[Steemia] - Steemia API Integration, stability, and UI

Before, we were parsing data directly from the Steem API. We used to do all calculations in client side dropping all the FPS due to the high amount of computations. After negotiating with SteepShot, they agree to lease us their API. After integrating their API in our app, things are smoother. So far the app is running with stability and almost 0 lag.

Changes made

• Integration of Steemia API and remove all the computation done in client side
• Render the images using the Steemit CDN to reduce the resolution and thus the size of the images
• Infinite scroll and pull to refresh was adapted to work with the new API
• Single post and post cards were adapted to work as well with the new API
• Author profile page was created using real data
• Some pages were removed from lazy load after some performance analysis
• Tabs were moved to the bottom after some surveys done regarding the position of the tabs
• Skeleton loader was completely deprecated since it was taking almost all the performance
• Delay from the clicks were removed from non-clickable elements
• A new font was added to the app
• Comments page adapted to work with the new API (TODO: Parse the markdown)
