added birth and death dates to author timeline
Fixes # (issue number, if applicable)
Description
added birth and death dates to the author timeline
Caveats
- I've only tested this on https://query.wikidata.org/ , I don't have a full local stack to test on.
- This is my first contribution to this project and my first SPARQL contribution to any project.
- No changes to python code. Two new stanzas in SPQARL query.
Testing
I ran the SPQARL query on https://query.wikidata.org/. the query is too long to use the URL shortener.

I'm not bothered with or without the skull. I tried the tombstone emoji, but it didn't work on any of the platforms I tested on so I figured it was too new to be useful.
I almost recall some concert about showing birthdate and date of death. I suppose we can keep it for now and remove it if users find it inappropriate.
remove it if users find it inappropriate.
With the risk that those who find it inappropriate will just stay away from Scholia.
But I don't have strong arguments to remove it at this moment.
