Re-design artifact page

The content in the headers of the artifact pages is lacking. I made them like that when I started contributing, and before I had a good idea of the data.

  • "Is ... uncertain?" should probably not be on a new line but more like " (uncertain)" after the value of ...
  • Same for comments, maybe with a new line: "Note: ..." or something.
  • Material aspects and colors are missing
  • Subgenre in the box below the image is missing. In the current database these are the genre comments.
  • External resources are broken. Should be fixed, get automatic links and combined with the identifiers.
  • Seal no. should move from physical info to identifiers.
  • Credits, creation date and modification date should be displayed more clearly. Single line (not in collapsible header) like "Created on {} by {}. Modified by {}, last on {}".
  • Inscriptions should be fixed, language should be displayed there. Note that there are also individual inscription pages, beware of overlap.
  • Access info could be icons available only for admins.
  • Publication can use a redesign (hard for now as the data is scarce).
  • "Object type" (genre) should not be in physical information.
  • The artifact type should be there though.
  • Move referenced dates etc. to inscription (as it is about contents).
  • Move excavation, findspot, etc. to "Archaeology"/"Collection" tab or something? The holding collection could be there as well. Possibly add museum number there as well, but keep it in "Identifiers" as well.
  • Combine provenience and period as "Origin".

What would be nice is:

  • A list of witnesses and impressions (artifacts associated with a composite or seal respectively). That would need to be paginated though.
