Always set bot flag on API edits

QuickStatements should always use the bot flag whenever possible. The MediaWiki API will only make the request a bot request if the account has a bot flag, so it can't be abused by normal users.

The new REST API allows for edits to be marked as bot edits https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/WG6JE4KKEALJ2MEA2WV53G3U2WAPCAAC/
