Extension:WikibaseMediaInfo/Lua

WikibaseMediaInfo provides a Lua Scribunto interface to access MediaInfo entities. It does so by:


 * 1) integrating with the existing mw.wikibase methods, making MediaInfo entities accessible alongside other Wikibase entities.
 * 2) exposing a new set of methods under mw.wikibase.mediainfo, that is mostly identical to the mw.wikibase methods, but has been adapted to be more MediaInfo specific:
 * 3)   functions - an alias for   functions - have been added
 * 4)   doesn't support the   argument
