Add option to specify user agent for link crawling #43

I will follow this up with a PR in the chat repository to use the user agent "WhatsApp/2" by default. This is because many dynamic links and other link previews serve specific social media tags for this user agent. For example, Signal also uses this user agent to crawl their link preview data.

Thanks for the PR!
