Many devs have a profile on Stackoverflow. Allow to link it as part of the other "social links".

I will provide a PR to discuss shortly.

Stack overflow can be a good addition as it is popular among the devs. But I am not sure if we should add stack exchange.

Also, stack exchange's id/username system is not simple as the other supported social links. For example: if the user's profile is https://ell.stackexchange.com/users/60696/dmytro-ohope, simply redirecting to https://stackexchange.com/users/60696/dmytro-ohope would take me to another user.

I guess we should implement support the stack overflow.

I can remove Stack Exchange, no problem.

The "Stack Exchange" link was intended to link to the network profile of that user, e.g. https://stackexchange.com/users/11434937/dmytro-ohope. That's why there are two separate options in the config: one for the id/name of Stack Overflow and one property for (the distinct) id/name of Stack Exchange.

Let me know hat you think.

Let's go with stack overflow only.
