Execution order now defined in an array, and species pairs now defined through a hash.

If it was already a test db we were dumping then the user and test_db prefix got added onto the species name.

ENSCORESW-120 & ENSCORESW-165. Adding patches b and c to this module. b covers changes to xref and object_xref to make the unique key operate as expected. c changes intron_supporting_evidence to allow linkage to a transcript

Removed synonym data source. MGI have combined the data into the single file. Note: Used to be a bulky SQL download, now just Tab-separated.

Extension to patch to remove null entries from the xref table. Has added implications with updating object_xref. If this patch succeeded then this is not an issue for you

Added efficiency boost to fetch_all_by_external_name and sub-methods. Wildcards now escaped in positions 1 and 3 unless user supplies override flag.

POD updated accordingly.

Adding the xref schema changes from core. I've done a cursory glance through the xref code. Looks like all inserts should be ok

Xref table overhaul. Uniqueness enforced, coupled with insert-then-query execution order in DBEntryAdaptor.

Data patching is slow.

ENSCORESW-166. Switched to bringing back the DB release and only asking to remove the DB if it was not the same as the current user submitted release

Adding the no_alias check to the get_species_and_object_type() method to avoid warning about the lack of a lookup DB

load_registry_from_db - load the stable ids lookup database if found; get_species_and_object_type - use the stable id lookup database if found
