Find person by GitHub username (single)

Changed on

Given a GitHub username, find the person's LinkedIn profile and extract work emails. Use outputType to control what data is returned and charged for. For outputType=linkedin we only return LinkedIn fields, for outputType=email we only return emails, for outputType=both we return both. To avoid 429 errors, spread requests evenly instead of sending a burst.
