TASK DESCRIPTION **Feature summary**: Pywikibot.Page should have an is_person_wd() method to determine if the article is about a person. Return True, if the page instantiates a person, i.e. value of P31 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P31> is Q5 (the simpliest way) Return False, if - it is not a person - namespace is not 0 - page is not connected to Wikidata - project is other than Wikipedia _wd postfix emphasizes for users that the method is based on Wikidata. **Use case(s)**: Deciding if the article is about a person is a frequent tasks as biographies may have several properties, categories, tasks to do with. Usually it is painful, as there are no obvious and easy-to-parse properties in the article text, and most Wikipedias don't have a simple category. Biographies form a main field of articles, not just one theme of million. **Benefits**: The method would make the decision easy. Additional advantages: we could create pagegenerators or subclass Page with special methods.
