Support for the new LinkedIn API version format

[softwareolatomiwa]

New Apps created on LinkedIn returns with Error 403 on getting user details using the /me endpoint. The endpoint has been changed and scope also has been changed to include openid, profile and email

ALso the format of user data returned has changed.

Thanks for your contribution.

This PR needs work before we can accept it due to the breaking nature of the changes to the library's public API surface and other changes to the test code that were not necessary.

Doesn't look like this is needed for anything?

[martincostello]

Can you also confirm that this all works as expected with the real live LinkedIn API?

Given it's technically a behavior breaking change - that requires subscribing to the new OIDC-based service - it would probably make more sense to bump the minor version (i.e 8.1 instead of 8.0.1). We'll also need to mention that clearly in the release notes.

Hi @martincostello
I think we should complete it ASAP; we are having trouble with LinkedIn authentication

It would probably make more sense to bump the minor version (i.e 8.1 instead of 8.0.1).

@kevinchalet So do you want to re-version everything as 8.1.0 for releasing this?

Yeah, that would be better.

In the same vein, we should probably bump the minor version instead of the patch version when introducing new features/providers: only bumping the patch version is something we had to do when ASP.NET Core had minor versions (as we wanted to have matching major+minor versions), but it's no longer necessary now that .NET never increases its minor version.

[martincostello]

OK - once I merge the open PRs, I'll do a follow up to update 8.0.1 to 8.1.0 before doing the release, and then I'll do patch or minor going forwards depending on what's in the release.

Thanks for your contribution @softwareolatomiwa - these changes are now available in version 8.1.0.
