So far, triples from `rdf_unlinked_shared_data` were deleted along with the triples from `rdf_deleted_data`. This is a mistake because the triples from `rdf_unlinked_shared_data` might still be relevant for other entities. We now simply keep them, even it that means that may end up as orphaned triples at some time. The documentation of the Wikidata update stream explicitly allows (and even encourages) this behavior. Fixes ad-freiburg/qlever#2670

rdf_unlinked_shared_datawere deleted along with the triples fromrdf_deleted_data. This is a mistake because the triples fromrdf_unlinked_shared_datamight still be relevant for other entities. We now keep all of them, even if they may end up as orphaned triples at some point. The documentation of the Wikidata update stream explicitly allows (and even encourages) this behavior. Fixes ad-freiburg/qlever#2670On the side, no longer insert
wikibase:Dump schema:dateModified DATEtriples. They were confusing because the semantics of the triples in the dump (produced by the Wikidata dump process) was that the minimum had to be taken to get a date until when all updates were considered, whereas for the triples that used to be inserted during the live update (by theqlever update-wikidatacommand) the semantics was to take the maximum. Instead, there is now only thewikibase:Dump wikibase:updatesCompleteUntil DATEandwikibase:Dump wikibase:updateStreamNextOffset OFFSETtriples, which have clear semantics (captured perfectly in the predicate names)
