Adding copula tag.
Slightly changing translation to better reflect a copula and match other entries.
Adding [v-unspec] tag as it is the closest thing to a irregular tag available, 候(そう) is a verb but does not fit into any class from modern or old Japanese due to being a contraction of さぶらふ.

Paradigm in question: 「さう・さう・さう・さう・さうへ・さうへ」
