Handle errors and warnings from loadHTML()
When parsing invalid documents loadHTML() spits out warnings and errors
which may end up polluting the output of tweeper depending on the value
of the "display_errors" variable in the PHP configuration; this may
result in the output being invalid RSS.
Handling those messages explicitly makes tweeper more robust against
different PHP configurations.

Show the actual name of the user the tweet comes from
The old way of using just the screen name made re-tweeted messages look
like they were coming from the re-twitting user instead of the original
author. This is wrong and causes confusion, fix it.

The change also makes the DOM navigation a little lighter because now
