    Represents a site, with support for API queries and returning
    :py:class:`~earwigbot.wiki.page.Page`,
    :py:class:`~earwigbot.wiki.user.User`,
    and :py:class:`~earwigbot.wiki.category.Category` objects. The constructor
    takes a bunch of arguments and you probably won't need to call it directly,
    rather :py:meth:`wiki.get_site() <earwigbot.wiki.sitesdb.SitesDB.get_site>`
    for returning :py:class:`Site`
    instances, :py:meth:`wiki.add_site()
    <earwigbot.wiki.sitesdb.SitesDB.add_site>` for adding new ones to our
    database, and :py:meth:`wiki.remove_site()
    <earwigbot.wiki.sitesdb.SitesDB.remove_site>` for removing old ones from
    our database, should suffice.

    *Attributes:*

    - :py:attr:`name`:    the site's name (or "wikiid"), like ``"enwiki"``
    - :py:attr:`project`: the site's project name, like ``"wikipedia"``
    - :py:attr:`lang`:    the site's language code, like ``"en"``
    - :py:attr:`domain`:  the site's web domain, like ``"en.wikipedia.org"``
    - :py:attr:`url`:     the site's URL, like ``"https://en.wikipedia.org"``

    *Public methods:*

    - :py:meth:`api_query`:            does an API query with kwargs as params
    - :py:meth:`sql_query`:            does an SQL query and yields its results
    - :py:meth:`get_maxlag`:           returns the internal database lag
    - :py:meth:`get_replag`:           estimates the external database lag
    - :py:meth:`namespace_id_to_name`: returns names associated with an NS id
    - :py:meth:`namespace_name_to_id`: returns the ID associated with a NS name
    - :py:meth:`get_page`:             returns a Page for the given title
    - :py:meth:`get_category`:         returns a Category for the given title
    - :py:meth:`get_user`:             returns a User object for the given name
    - :py:meth:`delegate`:             controls when the API or SQL is used

        *script_path*; this is enough to figure out an API url. *login*, a
        tuple of (username, password), is highly recommended. *cookiejar* will
        be used to store cookies, and we'll use a normal CookieJar if none is
