Supporting more formats for Qids in the entity suggest service

@VladimirAlexiev wrote at OpenRefine/OpenRefine#2317:

In WD recon, "search for match" handles WD id's like "Q41370" nicely.

However, it should also handle other formats:

• https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityPage/Q41370 (copied from WP)
• https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q41370 (copied from WD)
• https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q41370 (semantic URL)
• https://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?q=Q41370&lang=en (copied from Reasonator)
• https://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?q=41370&lang=en (another Reasonator, notice that Q is missing)
• http vs https

Cheers!

If someone wants to have a go at this, the function that is responsible for this is here:

openrefine-wikibase/wdreconcile/suggest.py

Lines 130 to 152 in e3469f2

	def find_something(self, args, typ='item', prefix=''):
	lang = args.get('lang', 'en')
	r = requests.get(mediawiki_api_endpoint,
	{'action':'wbsearchentities',
	'format':'json',
	'type':typ,
	'search':args['prefix'],
	'language':lang,
	'uselang':lang,
	})
	r.raise_for_status()
	resp = r.json()
	search_results = resp.get('search',[])
	result = [
	{
	'id': item['id'],
	'name': self.get_label(item, lang),
	'description': item.get('description'),
	}
	for item in search_results]
	return {'result':result}

(it handles searches for entities, properties and types)
