DeviantArt provider broke - I fixed it.

Issue #45 closed
Former user created an issue

So you may have noticed the DeviantArt provider broke due to changes on their site. Alas they no longer mark the "main" image with a handy ID nor even a consistent class. However after looking at the pages for a bit I noticed you can still narrow it down a bit to the image that seems in my tests to be the "main image" on the page. Unfortunately as it is when you go to select the img out of the page the jsoup hangs and prevents any downloads from ever happening (even with other providers).

The "main" image has no alt tag and comes from the host starting with "https://images-wixmp". I wrote the simple code to do this, I can push it to the repo or I can just provide you the update to the DeviantartProvider if you like. It is a small and localized change.
