Add Direct Lookups for LC Subjects about qa_server HOT 8 CLOSED

@sfolsom This is ready for you to test on lookup-int! Direct lookup results use the id.loc.gov api (same results as what you'd find here: https://id.loc.gov/search/?q=cs:http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects). Each result has an id, label, and uri parsed from: https://id.loc.gov/search/?q=cs:http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects&format=json

Please let me know if you'd like any changes!

Example endpoint: https://lookup-int.ld4l.org/authorities/search/loc/subjects?q=school%20sports

These look good. LOC has done a decent enough job being forgiving with parentheticals, etc.

Need sub-authorities for each of the following collections (from https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects.html), so that they can be each searched separately

• Authorized Headings
• ComplexHeadings
• subdivisions
• Topic subdivisions
• GenreForm Subdivisions
• Temporal Subdivisions
• Geographic Subdivisions

The suggest2 API has a parameter, e.g. https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/suggest2?q=History&memberOf=http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/collection_LCSHAuthorizedHeadings, but I'm not sure if this was the api that was used for LC lookups.

@sfolsom I don't see ComplexHeadings listed here: https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects.html. Am I looking at the wrong sources?

I think I have a working solution for the other collections now.

I was trying to confirm whether it's important to have ComplexHeadings as a separate lookup. You're right, they aren't a Collection, but rather treated as a type. I think it's fine to not have them served separately, given they show up in the Authorized collection.

OK, we're in business now!

Authorized Headings: http://lookup-int.ld4l.org/authorities/search/loc/collection_LCSHAuthorizedHeadings?q=School
Subdivisions: http://lookup-int.ld4l.org/authorities/search/loc/collection_Subdivisions?q=study
Topic: http://lookup-int.ld4l.org/authorities/search/loc/collection_TopicSubdivisions?q=quotations
GenreForm: http://lookup-int.ld4l.org/authorities/search/loc/collection_GenreFormSubdivisions?q=quotations
Temporal: http://lookup-int.ld4l.org/authorities/search/loc/collection_TemporalSubdivisions?q=794
Geographic: http://lookup-int.ld4l.org/authorities/search/loc/collection_GeographicSubdivisions?q=Mexico

Looks great!
