Per[30867] the unsplash credits should be removed (but likely, producer kept)

The Unsplash site's license was Creative Commons Zero before 5 June 2017. The Wayback Machine archives confirm the CC0 license in ​February 2015 and ​March 2017.

• Twenty Seventeen should include a photo credit because it bundles Alvin Engler's ​Succulent office plants image. Maybe the link could direct to Alvin's collection, instead of the specific photo, if that makes more sense. The image was published on Unsplash as of November 2015.
• Twenty Sixteen's image credit includes a link to the author's Unsplash collection. I think that is fine to keep, though removing the entire credit would be consistent with [30867]. ​PR 320 added the credit in September 2015, but I did not find the image in ​Austin Schmid's current collection.
