Add social share menu

Possibly with WeChat, Weibo, and Qzone buttons?

I added a share button to the side menu as that seems like the best location for it:

When you click on this button, you have the option to share a link to download FireTweet to a bunch of different apps using the standard share intent (see Weibo and WeChat among the list which I have installed). I'm trying to figure out how to customize this list; it's unfortunate FireTweet itself appears. If we only want to allow sharing to certain apps, I think we have to create our own list view instead according to https://clickclickclack.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/intercepting-androids-action_send-intents/#

Hey @Derekf5 and @myleshorton, what do you think about showing all the apps it's possible for the user to share to (above which is already implemented) vs. only being able to share to a predetermined set of apps (i.e. Weibo, WeChat, etc. for Chinese users)? The latter requires a custom solution, but it's doable.

Also, @Derekf5, do we have specific text we want to use here? Probably something similar to the autotweet, but I think we want to also include the direct download link, right?

I think the latter is a significant improvement actually @atavism.

@atavism text to go where? do you mean the text that users could share on various networks?

[atavism]

@Derekf5 Yeah, what do we want the share message to say?

[Derekf5]

@atavism I think it can be pretty similar to the auto tweet.

"Check out FireTweet. A Twitter app for Android that allows for unblocked tweeting anywhere in the world! Link"

how does that sound? We will obviously need to translate that text.
