Improve handling and skipping when term not present in Wikidata

[lubianat]

Sometimes a term is not on Wikidata and we'd rather just exclude it instead of going through the effort of creating a new entry.

Not sure about how to implement:

• special dict value ("SKIP") that is skipped?
• flag that skips any missing when running import?

I prefer the second option. Having keys in our dict that don't refer to Q-Ids would be a big change from the current data model. Another idea is having a third option when receiving the prompt, e.g:

Is the QID for 'Systems Biology'  
 Q815297 - systems biology (computational and mathematical modeling of complex biological systems) ? (y/n/skip)

Yeah, I like this option. And one could set a general "skip" flag to just treat all of them as skips. Tiago

Agreed, having a skip option would be nice.

I believe the implementation would be more appropriate inside of add_key in wdcuration.py, since that function is the one that generates the prompts to the user.
