Features ReadAct v.2.0.0 Fabrications

Fabrications introduces fictional readings acts to our dataset, ie.reading acts that occur in fictional worlds. This required a serious re-work of our content model so we could include reading acts as they occur in e.g. in 三体 far future realms. Secondly, we include QID lookup and validation via our new tool ReadActor which is now integrated into everything ReadAct. All entities have been processed and compared to wikidata, and such lookups are fully automated going forward. To make data input less work intensive and error prone. Lastly, based on popular demand, we create and maintain a template repo besides ReadAct. To allow interested persons, to use both ReadActs datamodel and tooling, but with an entirely empty database.

thanks to @mira-gruenwald for 124 commits with fictional reading acts and bug fixes.
thank you @whalekeykeeper for developing ReadActor.
