Bently e539280e98 fix(blocks): set User-Agent header and URL-encode topic in GetWikipediaSummaryBlock (#11754)
The GetWikipediaSummaryBlock was returning HTTP 403 errors from
Wikipedia's API because it wasn't explicitly setting a User-Agent header
that complies with https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Robot_policy.
Additionally, topics with spaces or special characters would cause
malformed URLs.

Fixes: OPEN-2889

Changes 🏗️

- URL-encode the topic parameter using urllib.parse.quote() to handle
spaces and special characters
- Explicitly set required headers per Wikimedia robot policy:
- User-Agent: Platform default user agent (includes app name, URL, and
contact email)
- Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate: Recommended by Wikimedia to reduce
bandwidth
- Updated test mock to match the new function signature
