[Feature] For books that belong in multiple series, display all relevant series in the book details page #595

Description

@ahmed-mohamed01

What's your idea?

Some books like Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson belong to multiple book series (Mistborn Era 2: Wax and Wayne as primary series, Mirtborn Saga, and Cosmere as the overarching universe most of Sandersons books are set in, for example).

Bookorbit already has capability to add and store multiple book series in the edit metadata section, so this information already exists in the DB. Small change is needed to expose this in UI in Book details page, similar to how primary book series is displayed:

What problem does it solve?

UI improvement
Usability improvement so users can quickly navigate to a secondary series from book details page.
Quality of life improvement to users with books that belong in multiple series.

Anything else? (optional)

I have implemented this on my fork and it works well (its a simple UI change).

An enhancement to this "multiple series" feature would be to add ability to fetch multiple series from hardcover during metadata fetching process, but that will need to be addressed as a separate issue.

Want to help?

Yes, I'd like to implement this
