cdb_rbind - allow binding of COMPADRE objects with different metadata. #120

I think it would be a good idea to allow joining of CompadreDB objects with different metadata. This would allow users to merge their own data with that of COMPADRE/COMADRE without needing to add columns of NA for non-important metadata.

The output object could by default keep all metadata columns across CompadreDB objects and insert NA for missing values
