claimit has 'exists' detection for sources and qualifiers, however the algorithm it uses does not work.
Claim needs new methods has_source(s) and has_qualifier(s).
T76547 already added has_qualifier.

It is a bit unclear what the criteria for a match would be since a source is essentially a list of Claims. Options are:
- All provided Claims need to be present in the source.
- All provided Claims need to be present in the source, which can additionally contain no other Claims.
- Any of the provided Claims are present in the source.
While 2. is the most straight forward it is also the least useful since a source often consists of a Claim pointing to an external source + a Claim giving some time of timestamp. If you are wondering if something is already sourced from imdb do you care about the timestamp?
On the other hand for a source made up by three Claims you might care about two of them but not the third (which would make solution 3 less useful). Lastly if you use solution 1 you risk that two Claim sources give his when you were in fact expecting only a single Claim source.
