Task/s: Match globe value in coordinates with located on astronomical body (P376)

Code: https://github.com/smalyshev/pywikibot-core/blob/locatorbot/locator.py

Function details: There are many entities on Wikidata which describe locations on planets other than Earth, such as Mare Imbrium (Q487895) . However, since current Wikidata UI does not allow to enter globe when entering coordinates, their coordinates are sometimes entered as if they are on Earth. This leads to confusion and wrong result when searching for items within specific places on Earth, etc.

The bot's task is synchronizing values of located on astronomical body (P376) with globes in the values of coordinate location (P625).

 Support code and test edits are looking good. --Pasleim (talk) 16:23, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
