This adds Weibo. I do not have an account so it does not add all weibo (or if it does, it does it serendipitously). Mainly, search results and profile "timelines" are blocked when logged out so I've no idea if those will work (and no ability to test and make them work).

Also there is a https://weibo.com/tv page which I did not add. So far as I can tell, all those videos are available (weibo.com//) in the normal working format. But the data on that page is formatted completely differently. So we could support it, but we do not gain anything and we have to handle two different data formats (probably via map_item or reformat it pre storage which is anti ZS). Comments happen to be captured from that layout though.

It would be really cool if we could get someone with an account to test this. Even better? If they can read Chinese. As I cannot and auditing the results is a bit of a matching game for me.

Lastly, I added a map_item that will be replaced once we have a 4CAT datasource. I found it useful to collect and then verify; though you can also use the browser debugger for that.
