Previously when the deduplicate_book_data script tried to merge an edition that was on a shelf or in a list then it would fail because when the canonical book was added to the shelf or the list then it wouldn’t set the extra fields of the linking table for the “through” model of the field. These would end up defaulting to NULL, but that is not valid for some of the fields in ShelfItem and ListItem so postgres wouldn’t accept it.
To fix that, this patch makes it skip updating fields that have a non-autogenerated linking table. The linking table would appear as a separate model anyway so the book will be moved via that instead.
Fixes: #2817
