Closes Code-Society-Lab#159 The Wikimedia User-Agent Policy blocks the default urllib User-Agent ("Python-urllib/x.y"), causing the /wiki command to crash. Set an explicit descriptive User-Agent identifying the bot and linking to the repository, as required by Wikimedia.

Closes #159.
Wikimedia blocks the default urllib User-Agent (`Python-urllib/x.y`) per the Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy, so the `/wiki` command currently crashes with an HTTP 403.
This sets an explicit descriptive User-Agent identifying the bot and linking back to the repository, which satisfies the policy and restores OpenSearch results.
