Changed all the terms that had "stages" in their names to "stage" and changed "developmental" to "development" for about 10 terms

New synonyms

This is only to highlight synonyms that are substantially different than the primary term name (e.g., cone as a synonym of strobilus).

working on 363 synonyms from FNA

Merged terms

plant structure development stage (PO:0007021) into plant growth and development stage (PO:0009012) -- plant structure development stage is primary name

Other Changes:

added has_participant relations between the following terms: -trichome development stage (PO:0025368) and trichome (PO:0000282) -seed trichome development stage (PO:0025369) and seed trichome (PO:0004511) -leaf trichome development stage (PO:0007039) and leaf trichome (PO:0006504)

Changed the aspect (namespace) from plant_growth_and_development_stage to plant_structure_development_stage

Moved leaf trichome development stage (PO:0007039) to be is_a trichome development stage. new def'n: A trichome development stage that has as primary participant a leaf trichome. (POC:Curators)

Modified def'n: seed trichome: (PO:0004511): A trichome that develops from seed coat epidermis.

Got rid of old GRO synonyms on sporophyte dormant stage.

Made seed is_a plant structure. Updated definition. Removed seed_part of fruit and added develops_from ovule, has_part embryo

Added seed dormant stage has_part plant embryo dormant stage
