Add taxa from UI

[annavik]

Summary

A small first step towards more flexible taxa management. Still more work and discussions to have related to this, but at least this will make it possible for users to add missing taxa that is present on GBIF. See notes below for some specific questions to discuss before merge.

List of Changes

• Setup a new GBIF select component (similar to our taxa select component, except this will call the GBIF API in the background)
• Setup a form where users with taxa create permissions can add global taxa

Related Issues

Closes #975

Detailed Description

Notes

• Add globally or to project? I couldn't notice a difference when testing.
• What happens if a user adds the wrong parent? Do we need more checks here?
• How to limit the GBIF search? Currently allowing add all taxa below Insecta. Is this too flexible?

This is a awesome! The search works well.

• I like the rank filter. I'm not sure everyone will, but as long as it defaults to SPECIES I think it's an effective way to limit the search results and find what you are looking for.
• I think the Name field should be presented more as a search field, or at least say "Search" instead of "Select a value".
• I think it's important that we add parents automatically. That seems quite cumbersome for users. The GBIF API should return a parent ID. But we will likely need a backend function to connect the parent to existing parents in the Antenna DB.
• OR you could reverse the form fields a bit. Ask: "Where do you want to place the new taxa?" Then you search our existing taxa for the proper parent. Then we will know the rank of the parent, and we could even show existing children. Then when you search for a taxa, we already know the rank to filter on.

I'm guessing the global vs. project taxa filter was added to the ood branch but not in main.

I think we can allow users to add global taxa if they are from GBIF. But I know Yves and Chris will want to add custom taxa not in GBIF, which should be just for their project.
