Added reels to the Instagram module

  • verified all the various pages in the module
  • Added reel pages (single reels, reels feed)
  • Added some new post pages (e.g. saved, reposts)
  • Included reels in explorer capture
  • Pass "view" on as _zs_instagram_view attribute to determine source page (and infer reel vs post)
    Note: A user's "user_saved" page has mixed reels and posts in the same JSON list so they are not obviously distinguishable
  • Currently appending partial_ to ids as well as adding _zs_partial attribute in order to all users to both capture all a user's posts/reels as well as load each individually in order to capture the media URL and caption.
    User pages load partial post/reels that may not include media URLs (only including thumbnails).
    • We can try to address this more systematically in the future with a validation function to upsert a recorded post or something similar

Highlight reels are not included as they contain virtually nothing but a link to the actual reel. Thus to capture, a user must click the "See full reel" link.

Will address #8 and #43 as the reel information is much more robust now (even partial is more robust than previously).
