Summary: Make commonscat.py use deletion summaries
Initial Comment:
If an category at Commons gets renamed and the original category gets deleted commonscat
is not able to find the new category.
Commonscat should have another function which checks the deletion summary for the new
category name.
This deletion summary can be pulled from the api, see for example:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&…
If a correct destination category is found, the bot should use this. This function should
probably be last resort (after checking the interwiki's for a possible link).
