Normalize titles of Gutenberg plays to be consistent

Description

Gutenberg folio titles differ from non-folio titles (for example many Folio plays do not have King where non-folio does e.g. Henry VIII vs. King Henry VIII). These should be normalized to be consistent. This is relevant because titles affect where plays come when listed in the index and it is nice to have different versions of the same work side by side.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to wontfix

We now normalize the title (which strips the King) when producing the unique name for the text. This combined with sorting by name (see changeset:37) has the result that the index is sorted in the correct order. Thus there is no longer a pressing need to normalize the titls and as a result this ticket will be resolved as wontfix.
