Show orgs from IATI data that don't have IDs #16

It might be useful to some users to:

find orgs in IATI that do not yet have an org_ID but are being named by some publishers
find orgs that have org IDs but which are not yet in use in IATI data

Could we scrape a) all the participating, receiving, etc org tags, and b) perhaps at least the XM-IATI org-id list to make more sources available via org-id finder?

I also wondered if the DFID work on machine learning and identifying partners might not also be loosely related here / provide some options.

Thanks for raising this, @matmaxgeds. I need to give this one some thought, so I’ve made a note to come back to it.

Please feel free to nudge if you don’t hear from me!

Totally no rush/compulsion (and our rules say no assigning work to others!), I just try to get things written down before I forget them, as an example, this PR added two org_IDs but they seem not available in org_id finder, so I wondered if there were many or few of these.

As someone who doesn't know much about org_id's I would have expected that there was a 'registry' for org ID's but that seems not to be the model there - the repo mentions that it is just a list of lists......nb, this makes me unsure why IATI requires such gatekeeping!
