porting otw-archive's deprecated image library to active storage: tutorial

[luckyzukky]

hi hello i'm back to be more annoying about otw-archive! in 2 days i single-handedly ported my instance of otw-archive (the ao3 code) - superlove - from paperclip, its deprecated and obsolete image library, to active storage, the newer and officially supported first party image library for ruby on rails. it was extremely hard work but i'm very proud of it and i'm happy to say that i've written a guide on how i did it!

i'd be more than happy to help anyone who plans on implementing active storage in otw-archive. it was so so hard and i couldn't have done it without the help of kind strangers online who've done this migration before, and friends who stuck by me as i complained about it during the process, hahaha.

moving otw-archive from paperclip to active storage, AKA: hell
