Internet Archive URL links -> ARK IDs and links #1231

By way of Linked Open Data best practices, Srophe should consider adding ARK URIs in place of links to books whenever they are available. The Internet Archive, for example, mints ARKs as a standard operation procedure.

To surface one example,

<ref target="https://archive.org/details/catalogueofsyria02camb">Vol. 2</ref>

has...

<ref target="https://archive.org/details/catalogueofsyria01camb">Vol. 1</ref>
<ref target="https://archive.org/details/catalogueofsyria02camb">Vol. 2</ref>

which would be better rendered as ....

						<idno type="ARK">
							13960/t32231f5q
						</idno>
						<ref target="https://n2t.net/ark:/13960/t32231f5q">
							https://n2t.net/ark:/13960/t32231f5q
						</ref>
						<idno type="ARK">
							13960/t1cj8hp5m
						</idno>
						<ref target="https://n2t.net/ark:/13960/t1cj8hp5m">
							https://n2t.net/ark:/13960/t1cj8hp5m
						</ref>

Elsewhere in Srophe I'm seeing Internet Archive URLs listed as URIs. For example:

<idno type="URI">https://archive.org/details/MinganaCatalogueOfTheMinganaCollection.I</idno>

Imo, these would benefit from a similar treatment.
