Use "path" instead of "pid" for matches from names/locations? #16

Closed ryanfb closed 7 years ago

This would give e.g. https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/109242/parisii for a name or https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/109242/undetermined for a location, instead of just the URI from the associated place https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/109242.

We would need to normalize this inside our comparison functions because we store the associated place geo against the place URI.

Related to #13 - what do we consider a duplicate here?

Following from Skype discussion, we decided to keep names the same (just place), and normalize location URIs down to the associated place as well.
