Dex: LinkedIn connector fails with v1 APIs

[tanmaykm]

The LinkedIn connector fails with an error like this:

time="...." level=error msg="Failed to authenticate: linkedin: get profile: 410 Gone: {
  \"errorCode\": 0,
  \"message\": \"This resource is no longer available under v1 APIs\",
  \"requestId\": \"....\",
  \"status\": 410,
  \"timestamp\": ....
}"

Looks like it needs to be updated to use v2 APIs, maybe these?

Hm! That's unfortunate. Looks like there's a fork in the road here:

1. ditch the linkedin connector -- the current code is apparently broken
2. have someone chip in and fix it.

I'd lean towards (1.) but maybe someone steps forward? 😃

Well, the changes needed look not too complicated and I can probably manage a PR in some time. But since this will be my first PR to this repo, it may need some iterations before being acceptable.

@tanmaykm that's great news. Happy to assist you in any way there! :smiley: :tada:

Thanks @srenatus, I have got something crude working. Will better it somewhat and put up a PR for review today.
