I realized that I had thought all wrong about how to extract user data from the page.

This PR changes the data extraction strategy to fetch data from the DOM and not the various code blocks on the page. Using the previous approach I was only able to extract my own user data. For my contacts' data I had to rely on navigating the DOM itself.

It works on desktop and mobile for now, but we never know how fast LinkedIn's frontend will be changing.

🐛 big bugfix to actually get user data 6a7bf08468

I had misjudged the purpose of the data in the code blocks
on the page, they're just for data about the logged in user.
Therefore I had to pick data points from the actual loaded
html.

Reworked tests to start using JSDOM.
