Starts with including record

[ermbutler]

It would be great for the starts with endpoint to have a param option to return the entire record.

In some cases the return string needs to then be matched to a rank which requires a 2nd call.

@ermbutler Completed in https://github.com/fathomnet/worms-server/releases/tag/0.4.1, although slightly different than your request. I added a new endpoint /taxa/query/startswith/{prefix}. Let me know if this is what you needed.

Example request and response
