Migrating reCAPTCHA solving off 2Captcha: the one-line swap

Most teams who solve reCAPTCHA at volume started on 2Captcha. What people don't realize is that the 2Captcha API has effectively become a shared interface — several providers implement the same in.php / res.php contract. So switching usually isn't a rewrite; it's a base-URL change.
