When a sessionid is passed to the Profile.scrape() function, the scraped profile contains a wrong biography. Instead of getting the biography of the Profile asked, it returns the biography of the account associated to the sessionid (the "viewier user"). The fix maps the key "biography" to "user_biography". This fix is similar to the "profile_pic_url" and "user_profile_pic_url" keys. This is needed beacuse Instagram returns different keys when logged in using a sessionid cookie. Closes chris-greening#88

Describe the bug
The biography returned is always that of the login user.
To Reproduce
Script that gives the wrong output:
from instascrape import *
SESSIONID = ' xxx '
headers = {"user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0; Nexus 5 Build/MRA58N) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Mobile Safari/537.36 Edg/87.0.664.57",
"cookie": f"sessionid={SESSIONID};"}
user = Profile("anna")
user.scrape(headers=headers)
print(user.username, " bio ", user.biography)
user = Profile("andreas")
user.scrape(headers=headers)
print(user.username, " bio ", user.biography)
output:
anna bio Login users text
andreas bio Login users text
Expected behavior
It should write out the bio of the individual users.
