Title: Add ability to use a field to direct to a page with the book metadata

When using a pagelist book storage format, such as https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:Inductiveload/Books/Poet%27s_Chantry, it would be useful to allow the book description to point to another page which contains the metadata. This means that the metadata can be stored in a single place, and does not need to be maintained at both the work page (The Poets' Chantry) and the book description page (linked above).

This pull request adds a new metadata field "ws-metadata" which directs the tool to look in that page for the actual metadata for the book (authors, etc). If it is not given, the given page ($title) is used, just as it is at present.
