Updated Connectors

- Ahrefs - Traffic Positions and other metrics. (highly requested!)
- Majestic - New sort options, filters and metrics.
- Google Search Console - New 'Search Appearance' dimension.
- Twitter - Extract all entities in tweets, such as hashtags, mentioned users, links.
New functions

- FindOnPage - Extract various entities such as Emails, Twitter Accounts and Google Analytics Ids
- RedirectCount - Returns number of redirects to the final destination.
- RedirectList - Returns all redirects between input URL and final destination.
- StripLineBreaks - Removes all line breaks from text.
