Fix team member yaml files LinkedIn/Twitter ('p', 'r')

Why is this change being made?

For some GitLab Inc. team members, the LinkedIn and/or Twitter 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 'p' and 'r', located at data/team_members/person/p and data/team_members/person/r. It reduces property linkedin to contain the LinkedIn URL fragment after /in/, and property twitter to contain the Twitter handle.
