Getting movies a person is known for cannot be appended to response

#552

Right now to get a known_for listing for a person with a specific ID, you have to use /search/person where you query the server based on the person's name. I would like to be able to simply query /person/{person_id} as I am already pulling in data from there about the person.

Even though in #227 Travis Bell said that a new endpoint for this does not feel like a nice solution, I believe the current state of affairs is too much of a hack. Could this change be reconsidered as an endpoint for v4? Could the base model returned by /person/{person_id} be extended instead to include the known_for field based on the same calculations that the search returns?

    Ya, a dedicated method would be nice. I'll see what I can do.

    Ok, so this is now possible to generate client side since all of the person credit methods return the standard media list objects now. More information: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/people/get-person-combined-credits

    I'm closing this ticket now.
