Fix team member yaml files LinkedIn ('i', 'j', 'k')

Why is this change being made?

For some GitLab Inc. team members, the LinkedIn URL is rendered incorrectly at https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/.

(Copied from #13191 (closed)) For example, the LinkedIn URL of Ben Cowdry is rendered as https://www.linkedin.com/in/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bencowdry instead of https://www.linkedin.com/in/bencowdry. The "data yaml" of Ben Cowdry contains the full LinkedIn URL in property linkedin.

This MR updates related yaml files starting with letters 'i', 'j', and 'k', located at data/team_members/person/i, data/team_members/person/j, and data/team_members/person/k. It reduces property linkedin to contain the LinkedIn URL fragment after /in/.
