refactor(instagram): improve anonymous scraping logic and error messaging

Browse source 
Enhanced the Instagram scraper to clarify the requirements for accessing user profiles and hashtags. Updated the error message for blocked access to provide detailed guidance on necessary credentials. Introduced a regex for validating Instagram usernames and refined the discovery function to handle profile queries directly, improving user experience and error handling in anonymous mode.
