[Tagging] V3 to V4 Mapillary image id migration

[Kai Michael Poppe]

I can understand the reasoning for moving from an alpha-numeric key that's longer than YouTube's and thus would allow for even more picture-keys that would never run out, to an integer-key for performance reasons.

Yet, seeing that there seems to be a translation-table for the Web Application anyways I cannot for the life of me understand why they wouldn't publish an endpoint that allows getting pictures with the old key. That feels like making it intentionally difficult.
