Tasks for Threads user data

Threads is quickly gaining in popularity, and there's little tooling built to monitor that growth. Tasklings now has two new tasks to help support that effort.

First, you can search for a single username and get back basic statistics on that user, like their number of followers. Imagine this task evolving overtime, where you could schedule it to run daily or weekly and then monitor the growth of that user's popularity over time.

And second, much like the just-mentioned task, you can also use the "bulk" version of that task, which allows you to search for a bunch of usernames all at once.

Another reason to use these tasks is to keep tabs on users that have not yet hopped over from Twitter to Threads. Those users will come back as "Not found" until they register at Threads!
