Adding more `infobox` intents

internal .intent files can be added to allow parsing infoboxes returned by duckduckgo

first print the target infobox to inspect the returned results

from skill_ovos_ddg import DuckDuckGoSolver
d = DuckDuckGoSolver()
info = d.get_infobox("Stephen Hawking")[0]
print(info)

under DuckDuckGoSolver.register_from_file add your new xxx.intent file, where xxx needs to be a key present in the infobox, underscores are replaced with whitespaces

then that infobox value will be mapped to that intent file
