Since the property has_highlight_reel is no longer available throught the previously used graphql query, this information needs to be obtained in another way. Therefore the properties has_highlight_reels, has_public_story and has_viewable_story were added to the Profile class. Since has_public_story can be obtained throught graphql queries without being rate limited when invoked anonymously, the ability to use an anonymous copy of the context was added to to the InstaloaderContext class. Fixes #116

How to Automatically Download Pictures from Instagram
-----------------------------------------------------
To **download all pictures and videos of a profile**, as well as the
**profile picture**, do
::
instaloader profile [profile ...]
where ``profile`` is the name of a profile you want to download. Instead
of only one profile, you may also specify a list of profiles.
To later **update your local copy** of that profiles, you may run
::
instaloader --fast-update profile [profile ...]
If ``--fast-update`` is given, Instaloader stops when arriving at the
first already-downloaded picture. When updating profiles, Instaloader
automatically **detects profile name changes** and renames the target directory
accordingly.
Instaloader can also be used to **download private profiles**. To do so,
invoke it with
::
instaloader --login=your_username profile [profile ...]
When logging in, Instaloader **stores the session cookies** in a file in your
temporary directory, which will be reused later the next time ``--login``
is given. So you can download private profiles **non-interactively** when you
already have a valid session cookie file.
