- Changes to wattpad API mapping chapter URLs to story URLs.

However, if I get story from urls from webpage, it will generate a different URL for the same story(ex:https://www.wattpad.com/story/181493861-the-vision) and this url works.

Wattpad is a complicated site that uses json API URLs and doesn't include the story ID in the chapter URLs. The first URL above is to a specific chapter, while the second is the story URL.

The API call the adapter uses to map a given chapter URL to the story ID/URL wasn't working anymore, looks like the API has changed.

The wattpad adapter is unusual(unique?) in that it does a network hit to map chapter URLs to the story URL much earlier in the process. To the point, I don't generally allow networks reqs there.

But I didn't write that adapter, and it is existing behavior, so I will (try to) fix it.
