[Patch] Resolve Wikipedia redirects when failing Wikidata lookup

Description

Frequently Wikipedia articles get renamed, and the OSM "wikipedia" tag is left pointing to the "redirect" page. Unfortunately, the api.php?action=wbsearchentities does not handle redirects. Thus, for all failed Wikidata lookups, the plugin should try to resolve Wiki link, and try the Wikidata lookup again. This API call does both - it normalizes page titles (2 in this case), and resolves redirects:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=einstein|usa&redirects
