Puffinus tenuirostris needs to be added as an informal synonym of Ardenna tenuirostris #186

The new taxonomy correctly shows as Ardenna tenuirostris and Puffinus tenuirostris does not. Puffinus tenuirostris is not a valid name accepted in Australia, is not in the new taxonomy and so any data linked to it will not appear in the new system - unfortunately there is quite a bit. I've dealt with these elsewhere by manually adding the name and I'll need to add it as a synonym for future loads so this doesn't happen. The correct former synonyms of A. tenuirostris (Procellaria tenuirostris and Puffinus intermedius) will both link
