Fill developer, publisher, year and description from Wikipedia

Browse Source 
The library carried titles, systems and genres but almost nothing else:
developer was 3.8% filled, publisher 2.9%, description 0%. These are columns
the app has always had and never been able to populate.

enrich_metadata.py reads them off the same articles the cover fetcher
locates. Only empty fields are touched unless --overwrite is given.

  year         79%  -> 96%
  developer   3.8%  -> 95%
  publisher   2.9%  -> 96%
  description   0%  -> 96%

Parsing infoboxes needed several guards, each found by checking output
rather than trusting the first pass:

  * "Infobox video game" is a substring of "Infobox video game series", so
    the loose test resolved Banjo-Kazooie to the series overview. Now
    rejected, which also fixes the cover fetcher's article resolution.
  * An article spans every release and its date block leads with the
    original, so year is only filled when the article covers that platform.
    Otherwise a DS port inherits the SNES original's year.
  * A search hit that neither covers the platform nor closely matches the
    title is discarded: "Dragon Ball Z Budokai" surfaces "Shin Budokai", a
    different game on a different console. Left blank instead.
  * Values are grouped under bold platform headings, tagged with region
    codes, annotated with the platform in parentheses, and wrapped in
    templates whose named parameters leak through. Each of those read as
    the developer or publisher before being handled.

Developer, publisher and year are facts and written verbatim. Descriptions
are article summaries under CC BY-SA, stored with an attribution line.

"""Fill in developer, publisher, year and description from Wikipedia.
The library's own data is thin in exactly these columns — the 2018 dump carried
titles, systems and genres, but almost no developer or publisher and no
descriptions at all. This reads the values off the same English Wikipedia
articles the cover fetcher already locates.
Developer, publisher and release year are facts and are written verbatim.
Descriptions come from the article summary, which is CC BY-SA text, so each one
is stored with an attribution line naming the source article.
Only empty fields are filled unless --overwrite is given: anything typed by hand
outranks anything guessed here.
