feat(workers): adding a local metascraper plugin for Reddit posts (#1302)

* chore: metascraper 5.x comes with its own types, including @types/metascraper is now redundant; also updating to latest versions of metascraper libraries

* feat (workers): creating a local metascraper plugin for Reddit posts

In the past, the preview images for bookmarks from Reddit links were
poorly chosen. Reddit does not use opengraph tags, so metascraper-images
simply looked for all images on the page and returned the first. This
tended to be the profile picture for the poster for the Reddit link.

This new plugin, using the existing metascraper framework, provides a
better selection of image for the bookmark when the URL domain is
'reddit'.

In addition, recent changes (I believe this was a side effect of adding
the metascraper-author and/or the metascaper-publisher plugins, but it
could also be related to the metascraper-readibility plugin) broke what
used to be a good choice of bookmark title. Previously, titles looked
like 'Tinyauth just reached 1000 stars! : r/selfhosted' with both thread
title and subreddit mentioned. After this update, all Reddit posts now
have the same title: 'The heart of the internet'.

To return to the better format, this new metascraper-reddit plugin now
attempts to retrieve the better title from reddit URLs. Note that in
order to gain precendence in title selection, the 'metascraperReddit()'
inclusion in the crawlerWorkers.ts metascraper instantiation list had to
be moved above metascraperReadability().

* chore: updated Hoarder in text to Karakeep

* chore: update metascraper versions

fix for metascraper types has been merged; the expect-error comment can
be removed

* chore: merge with master
