Feature request: Seahouse profiles - paste LinkedIn URL and import profile picture

Feature request from Ilya, recorded by ChatGPT.

For the Seahouse site, let me paste a LinkedIn profile URL and link it to a person's profile on the site. Also fetch the profile picture from that LinkedIn page so it can be used as the site profile picture.

Expected behavior:

  • Paste a LinkedIn profile URL when creating or editing a profile.

  • Save and display the LinkedIn link on that profile.

  • Fetch the LinkedIn profile picture when available and offer it as the profile picture, with a preview before saving.

  • If the picture cannot be fetched, still save the LinkedIn link and allow a manual picture upload.

The core request is linking a LinkedIn page and importing its profile picture; importing other LinkedIn fields is outside this request.

Confirmed in Ilya's review with ChatGPT: this must work both when creating a profile and when editing an existing profile.

Save the LinkedIn link immediately and import the picture separately. A blocked or failed picture fetch must not prevent saving the link; offer a manual picture upload as the fallback. Preview an imported picture before applying it.

Acceptance: create and edit an existing profile, save a valid LinkedIn link, exercise successful and blocked/failed picture imports, and verify that the link remains saved independently of picture-import success. No additional LinkedIn profile fields are requested.
