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
