Resolve mention (LinkedIn only)

LinkedIn only. Turns a LinkedIn company page URL (or its slug) into the URN LinkedIn needs to render an @-mention — mentions are written into post text as @Display Name, e.g. @Postproxy. Company, showcase and school pages all resolve; the page does not have to be one this connection administers. Person mentions (linkedin.com/in/...) can't be resolved yet — person lookup is coming soon; a person URL returns 400. Results are cached for 1 hour per page, including pages that resolve to nothing.
