espn_wbb_team: Get ESPN Women's College Basketball Team Detail

Description

Era-correct team identity for a women's college basketball program in a specific season, plus the available $ref URLs for deeper resources (record, statistics, leaders, athletes/roster, coaches, college, etc.). Backed by the core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/basketball/leagues/womens-college-basketball/seasons/{season}/teams/{team_id}.

Historical depth goes back to 1982 at ESPN (NCAA-tournament-era forward). Older seasons return fewer $ref keys; missing refs become NA.
