Bug ID: 68686
Summary: Add dbname (e.g. "enwiki", "ptwiki") to XML database
dump "siteinfo"

It would be useful to be able to check the header information on an XML
database dump file to confirm the database of origin. I'm imagining something
like the dbname that you can get from the API (e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=sitematrix).
My current use-case is error checking. I want to make sure that the XML dump
file being processed by originated from the intended wiki. Right now, I need
to parse filenames in order to do that and that makes me sad.
I propose adding a field to <siteinfo /> called <dbname /> that would contain
this value.
