Fix ListeriaBot memory issues

NoN Merged with Bots and gadgets/A more performant bot to replace ListeriaBot

  • Problem: Since the release of ListeriaBot v2, there is a problem with lists with many links to big entities (for example, links to countries), which make the list generation fail. See some previous discussions: 1, 2. The issue is reported in the official repository: magnusmanske/listeria_rs#66.
  • Proposed solution: Fix the memory issues, which are probably a caching problem.
  • Who would benefit: ListeriaBot is used to automatically maintain lists of Wikidata items in various Wikipedias. It is used intensively by Women in Red in various languages, as well as other projects (3,204 lists in English, 1,152 in French).
  • More comments: Fix the issue with loading big external entities, possibly a caching problem.
