Iterate social links block to just take profile names

[karmatosed]

The social links block is great but it would be even better if just took usernames over full URLs. It is something that can be relatively easily worked out for these services.

@karmatosed I like the idea of making this a progressive enhancement instead of the primary default. Instead, parsing the input to detect no /, an @ or an # symbol and using those as opportunities to autocomplete the correct URL (however with the no / condition, it's possible this could autocomplete the wrong URL).

Only taking a username would diminish the current flexibility of the Social Link block to link to other resources.

This wouldn't work for linking to some Facebook Group URLs, Twitter Lists, YouTube Playlists, search results on platforms, deeplinks into specific resources inside a GitHub repo, etc and would add a different edge case for handling the Email and RSS block.

One specific example would be "Find discussion about #WordPress online" or another hashtag. Then a brand could link to the search results for a hashtag on each service.

As discussed in this week's triage, let's get this worked on as an easy fix.
