Integration of US EPA API for data retrieval

[tsufz]

The US EPA API is back again. We should add a webinterface to retrieve DTXSID on the fly. However, requires a personal API key. I guess, for public institutions, it should be no problem to retrieve it.

• [x] add retrieval by InChIKey
• [ ] if key failes, fall back to CAS
• [x] write to infolist
• [x] add key entry to settings

@ChemConnector, I got a private key. I guess, this is not the purpose of a key to distribute it publicly? I will integrate the function in RMassBank. If the people do not provide a key in the settings, they could add the DTXSID using the batch search.

This is a difference to the validation during the record submission. In this case, we could amend missing DTXSID / rerun old records using an application key, which is kept safely in the Github vault. @meier-rene, what do you think about?

Cheers, Tobi

Skip the CAS request so far. Let's check the performance and add it later (also name search).
