image: feature: won't accept hotlinked http:// https:// image about minimal-mistakes

I'll try and get this to work, based on @Robpol86 work and send along a pull request (if I manage ... I'm a newbie to all of this).

@maxheld83 This is pretty easy to patch in. Just curious, any particular reason you want to hotlink an image instead of serving it yourself where you can optimize/resize it for a better experience?

@mmistakes I'm a total newbie to Jekyll and Github, so this might be complete bonkers. I'm too lazy to duplicate my Google Plus Photos locally, and would just like to use the url I get from all of my pictures hosted there.
Is that a stupid idea, or what do I loose if I proceed like this? http://maxheld83.github.io/maxheld83/ seems to look/load ok with a hotlinked feature image (to a layperson like me, that is).
Anyway, I'll try to fix this myself and send you a pull request if you don't mind; I'm eager to learn github.
I'll be hosting from github pages, so I won't be using any extra plugins.

Nothing wrong with that approach. Was just curious. I like to keep all my
assets together and under my control in one repo.
