Support --browser and --cookie-file flags to auto-extract Instagram session cookies from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and other browsers via browser_cookie3. Makes -u/-p optional when browser session is available.
Instagram removed edge_hashtag_to_media from the REST API response, breaking instaloader's deprecated get_posts() method (issue #2547). Switch to the GraphQL-backed get_posts_resumable() which still works. Also reorder except clauses so QueryReturnedNotFoundException is caught before its parent ConnectionException.
The unsupported-browser test called _get_browser_cookies directly, which hits ImportError before reaching the ValueError check when browser_cookie3 is not installed (e.g. in CI). Mock sys.modules so the import succeeds and the browser validation logic is tested.
