[FEATURE] Implement Post Like

[Ashu0216]

Description

Like feature can be implemented to allow users to like any post.

Use Case

A Like button will be added on the full page view of the post from wherein a user can choose to like a post. The total number of likes received can be displayed on respective post's cards.

Proposed Solution

The solution includes both backend and frontend tasks.
Backend : Required changes will have to be made to the schema for additional 'Like' fields. Functions need to be implemented to add like and remove a like with edge case handling
Frontend: Like count will be shown on each post's card. Will use react hooks to perform the action of like.

Can you assign me this feature. I have an idea to do this, have to add Like field in schema which is array of user _ids. whenever the user clicked the like, user have to pass their _id so that we can push to that array and vise versa for disliking.
