pr/linkedin: unify the ' | LinkedIn' SERP-suffix strip into one stripLinkedIn() helper. The two call sites had drifted to different separator classes (locatePerson [|–-] vs discoverComms [|·]), so 'LinkedIn' leaked into stored indexed_title on middot/en-dash/em-dash separators. One helper covers [|·–—-]; verified all separators stripped, legit + mid-word-LinkedIn titles preserved
