Simplified limited mode for pages #1018

Is there a way do add option --simplified, which make script faster and more ban-proofable but scrap less data ?

As I see, we go inside each page post to get additional data: likes, comments, etc ...

In this mode I offer to gather data only from list of page posts. In many situation it will be enough. And behavior will not be so suspicious for fb. Because now my cookie accounts get banned very often for suspicious behavior if I scrap more than several pages.
