Organisation name in Certificate while sharing to LinkedIn

Here, the platform_name is chosen as the default if a LINKEDIN_PROFILE_ID setting is not added. Since there is already an organisation for each of the course, can't we use that instead of the platform name as default?

In order to reproduce this issue

1. Create a course and add certification as explained HERE
2. Follow THIS documentation Enabling Social Sharing of Courses and Certificates
3. Include the following keys at cms/envs/common.py

    'CERTIFICATE_LINKEDIN': True,
    'DASHBOARD_LINKEDIN': True

and lms/envs/common.py

    'CERTIFICATE_LINKEDIN': True,
    'CERTIFICATE_LINKEDIN_TEXT': None,

4. On a studio

Settings -> Certificates

Adjust necessary settings and click preview Certificate
You should be able to see LinkedIn as an option

Clicking on it results similar to the screenshoot bellow:

and When LinkedIn is clicked you see the platform name auto populated (You should login on linkedIn and have an active session on your browser)

Currently platform_name or platform linkedIn_ID are considered options.
Since we add organization in each course, using this course level organization when sharing to LinkedIn is what is suggested in this issue!
I am understanding this to consider four(Three) options

Platform Level Setting

• platform_name
• LINKEDIN_COMPANY_ID

Course Level Setting

• Course Organization
• Course Organization LinkedIn ID (OPTIONAL SINCE IT WILL CAUSE MORE CHANGES)
