This PR adds scraping the twitter follower count from Haystack, llama index and langchain. It uses selenium.
A dry run worked with: hatch run collector twitter --username Haystack_AI --dry-run followers

Alternatives I considered are using the Twitter API (costly) or scraping just with requests (doesn't work because of dynamically loaded content). Another alternative is not using Twitter follower count but measuring social media mentions through one of our Slack channels. I think, Twitter follower count is better.
