Avoid thumbnails thanks to /page/media API

There is this new API:

https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/media/Luca_Ghini

which returns the significant images found in the article:

{"revision":"787592027","tid":"86d49989-29d8-11e8-a11a-d92a163afa50","items":[{"section_id":0,"type":"image","caption":{"html":"Luca Ghini.","text":"Luca Ghini."},"titles":{"canonical":"File:Ghini.jpg","normalized":"File:Ghini.jpg","display":"File:Ghini.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"source":"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Ghini.jpg","width":292,"height":412,"mime":"image/jpeg"},"original":{"source":"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Ghini.jpg","width":292,"height":412,"mime":"image/jpeg"},"file_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ghini.jpg","artist":{"html":"<span class=\"fn value\"><span lang=\"en\">Unknown</span></span>"},"credit":"From sv: Wikipedia. Originally uploaded 27 februari 2006 kl.11.52 by <a href=\"https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:213.101\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"sv:User:213.101\">213.101</a> från <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external autonumber\" href=\"http://www.sma.unibo.it/mm/Ghini.JPG\">[1]</a>","license":{"type":"Public domain"}}]}

As you can see, the result only contains Ghini.jpg and does not contains Beli-hibiskus.jpg (which is used as a thumbnail at the bottom of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luca_Ghini article).

Using this API in WDFIST would get rid of a lot of false positives, and could possibly replace https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske/FIST_icons
