add type status field to BCDM #5

Description

@bwprice

While only a tiny fraction of the records in BOLD at present, this will grow as museum skims increase and people publish new species with DNA sequences. It would be sensible to designate a new field to type status, mapping to DWC typeStatus with a controlled vocab. Specimens that aren't types should be left blank, not "None" or "Non-type".

At the moment our logic to find type data in BCDM records is rather convoluted:

Match approved list of type terms in any of these fields:

  • taxonomy_notes
  • short_note
  • collection_notes
  • voucher_type
  • notes

OR

Match /type/i in voucher_type
