Closes #93

This lets us tie the external person to the contributor, even after the
user edits it. The idea is that when the user edits the contributor,
they're saying "I already have this person in my database, but their
name is spelled differently". That's a different use-case from "This is
the wrong person, I'm correcting it". I judged the first use-case as
more common than the second. It basically comes down to how much I trust
the external API.
A previous commit imported external IDs as links, here we import actual
URLs from the external API source.
