This adds a straightforward way of preserving Farside's redirecting
behavior in the user's browser history. That way if an instance becomes
unavailable between the 5 min scans, the user can opt to navigate back
one page and be taken to a new instance.
This is accomplished using a single line of JS, and could potentially
work as the default behavior of Farside (with the current default
behavior requiring a path prefix instead). This should be revisited down
the road when more people are using this service.
Since the current testing suite assumes more than one instance per
service, imgin causes the tests to fail, since there is only one
public instance.
Rather than refactor the tests to accommodate for services with only one
instance, imgin has been removed until there are multiple instances
available.
Rather than enforcing a 200 status code, the instance query is deemed a
success if the status code is <400. Various services return 200-399
status codes that don't necessarily indicate an error, but may have to
do with how the instance was configured.

Also adds SimplyTranslate to the github pipeline, since they provide a
