Look up the mention format for a LinkedIn user or organization by their username to use in posts or comments.

The username is the part after `/in/` or `/company/` in a LinkedIn profile URL:
- Personal profile: `linkedin.com/in/johndoe`  - username is `johndoe`
- Company page: `linkedin.com/company/acme-inc`  - username is `acme-inc`

Returns both user and organization results if a username matches both (rare but possible).

`GET /linkedin/{username}/mentions`
