Subject: [PATCH] Fix SoundCloud false-positive: switch to message-based check
 (#2355)

* Initial plan

* Fix SoundCloud false-positive: switch from status_code to message checkType

SoundCloud returns HTTP 200 for non-existent user profiles (soft 404),
causing status_code check to report CLAIMED for random usernames.

Switch to message checkType with:
- presenseStrs: hydratable user marker in server-rendered HTML
- absenceStrs: generic page title for non-existent users

Markers sourced from WhatsMyName project's verified SoundCloud entry.
