New terms for Physcomitrella and related taxa (continued)

Sporangium parts

This is continued from our discussion at the POC_Conf._Call_3-8-11

Currently classes like exothecium, endothecium, primary parietal cell layer and tapetum are part of anther wall (PO:0000002). However, these layers and their constituent cell types can be part of any sporangium, not just an anther. Proposed making them part of a general class sporangium wall (as we did for parts of leaf).
