Fixed company employees scraping and added LinkedIn URL-based keyword filter for company employees

[patil-pratik-87]

⏺ 📋 Summary of All Changes Made for #255

1. Fixed LinkedIn Page Structure Issue

• Problem: XPath //span[@dir="ltr"] returned 0 elements (page structure changed)
• Fix: Updated to //div[contains(@Class, "artdeco-entity-lockup")] which finds actual employee elements

2. Added URL-Based Keyword Filtering

• Added: employee_search_keywords parameter to Company constructor
• Implementation: Uses LinkedIn's native search via URL: /people/?keywords={encoded_keywords}
• Benefits: Server-side filtering, more accurate than client-side parsing

3. Added Timeout Configuration

• Added: timeout parameter (default: 10 seconds) to Company constructor
• Updated: All WebDriverWait calls to use self.timeout instead of hardcoded values
• Benefit: Configurable wait times for different network conditions

4. Added Input Validation

• Added: Error checking for invalid parameter combinations
• Rule: Raises ValueError if employee_search_keywords provided but get_employees=False
