Deploy the Commons deletion notification bot on en.wikisource

Description

This ticket is for deploying the Commons deletion bot to work on en.wikisource.

The discussion was here: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Request_that_English_Wikisource_be_added_to_Commons_deletion_notification_bot

No translation should be necessary.

Wikisource is a bit different than the other wikis and it may require some customization of the bot, but I'm not sure. The main use case we want to address is: A djvu or pdf file of a book gets nominated for deletion on Commons. It should then post a notice on the Index discussion page. For example, if File:Queen Mab (Shelley).djvu gets nominated for deletion on Commons, it should post a notice on https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index_talk:Queen_Mab_(Shelley).djvu.

In it's current form it doesn't look like the bot would work as it is hardcoded to only work on files used in the main namespace of a project: https://github.com/wikimedia/CommonsNotifier/blob/5dfcfc5ba1564f20fc4801db28b13d2eb97fc286/post-notifs.py#L155

Maybe it could be modified to check for the Index namespace as well. Probably best not to worry about the Page namespace since 1 djvu file might be included in hundreds of Pages. The bot would also need to be configured to post to the Index_talk namespace.
