Social Media LinkedIn Sync (social_media_linkedin_sync)

This module brings back into Odoo what a LinkedIn page already published: the
posts themselves, the figures each of them collected, and their comments and
reactions.

It is the LinkedIn half of *Social Media Sync*, split from *Social Media
Linkedin* along the same line: what a call costs. The connector asks LinkedIn
for a fixed number of things per account — publish, delete, the daily figures
of the whole page — and that number does not change whether the page
published once or ten thousand times. Everything whose cost grows with the
history of the page lives here: reading the feed one page at a time, asking
LinkedIn about the publications missing from it a hundred URNs at a time, and
one call per comment thread. The figures of the publications are read by
*Social Media Linkedin*, in as many calls as the 4 KB limit of the query
string needs, whoever hands it the identifiers.

An Odoo that only publishes on LinkedIn installs *Social Media Linkedin*
alone and pays for none of it.

Main features:

- Import of the publications of the page and of the statistics each of them
collected, on demand and through the scheduled actions of *Social Media
Sync*.
- Full resynchronization of a page, the only pass that notices a publication
deleted on LinkedIn. Missing from the feed never marks anything on its own:
LinkedIn is asked about each suspect by its URN, one call per hundred of
them, and only a `404` writes the deletion. The
[Posts API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/community-management/shares/posts-api)
publishes asynchronously (`PUBLISH_REQUESTED`), answers the author finder in
reader context, and states that a page returning fewer results than asked is
not the end of the feed — so a publication that is alive can be absent from a
listing read whole.
- Publications deleted on LinkedIn recognised while the dashboard is being
used: a reaction or a comment answered with a `404` makes Odoo ask
LinkedIn about the publication itself, and only its confirmation marks the
line as deleted.
- Comment threads read from the dashboard, with their replies, and *Recommend*
on a publication and on each of its comments, which also withdraws the
reaction it made.
- Detection of pages that moved since the last import, which puts a notice on
the dashboard inviting the user to press *Update*. It costs at most two
calls per account, and reuses the daily figures the connector already read
on the same pass instead of asking LinkedIn for the same days twice.

Delete one comment of the thread of this publication. LinkedIn honours the deletion for the author of the comment and for the owner of the publication, and the owner is what this account is: moderating a comment of somebody else on its own post is the ordinary case. Which of the two the call acts as is read from the account, not from the caller, or an RPC could choose whom the deletion is attributed to. :param comment_ref: id of the comment to delete, inside this thread. :rtype: dict
