Streamer links should go directly to the twitch/youtube URL instead of the lichess streamer page. #8415

It would be useful if when clicking on a streamer link that users would be sent directly to the ongoing stream's youtube/twitch URL instead of the lichess streamer page. This includes:

  1. Homepage streamer links
  2. Timeline streamer links
  3. Profile streamer links
  4. lichess.org/streamer streamer links

Streamers (including us) are denied twitch partner on the basis of too many embedded viewers and it also cuts users off from chat somewhat.

Timeline streamer links still take me to the streamer profile page as opposed to the streaming platform's URL.
