Summary: interwiki: include only interwiki doubles

Initial Comment:
English language Wikipedia and another wiki (IIRC jp.wikipedia) appear to have 
adopted a system where they transclude a page and add interwikis from the 
transcluded page using includeonly tags. Interwiki happily places 'missing' 
interwiki links on the page that has the transcluded page, so interwiki links 
are displayed twice.

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature. It may well be that the user 
moving the interwiki links from the page to the template has not changed the 
links in the pages on other wikis. In any case, it would be nice if 
interwiki.py recognised this and would not add double links, whereever the 
interwiki links that are present come from.

The following edit is probably the cause:

Message:
This is invalid. Cannot expect to have the interwiki links transcluded and
the bot to pick this up from the source code of the transclude source.
Interwiki is broken.

With query.php, it is possible to retrieve transcluded langlinks.
Determining where to place the langlinks is not easy for a bot, however.
Checking for double links should be fairly straightforward to implement.

There are at least dozens of such pages in the English Wikipedia in the
Category: name space, all colleting people with specific language skills,
all of them to be found under the "Users by language" category.
