Make Darwin Core terms shortcuts less naive #14

The current solution is very simple and efficient, but might be a little naive in the long run:

There can be "collisions" between qualnames: http://xxxxxxxxxxx/machin and http://yyyyyyyy/machin. With current implementation, the last imported qualname would overwrite previous ones.
The list is statically generated from XML files, maybe a little rigid ?
If things get more complex, maybe this should be moved to another "Darwin Core" project (reusability, separation of concerns, ...)

Anyway, this is just a small helper that can be bypassed (by providing the full "qualnames" to python-dwca-reader), so this is probably enough for now.
