73 taxonomy pruning

[ampudia19]

---

Description

ChatGPT queriers & basic transformation utils are included in this PR. These modify a portion of the existing taxonomy, performing the following set of possible transformations:

• remove entities from the taxonomy
• remove topics from the taxonomy
• remove areas from the taxonomy
• merge topics
• move entities between topics
• split topics
• adjust areas
• move areas
• adjust topic names
• add country tags
• add continent tags

These are done via a combination of manual revision & querying questions to chatGPT. The code for manual revision is ommitted from this PR.

The original goals of issue #76 were to:

• Discard entity groups: countries, regions, cities. ¿Institutions?
• Re-name topics with duplicated names.
• Move entities to more "reasonable" topics.
• Discard topics: Spanish entities, French entities, etc.
• Split topics: If re-assignment is not possible but entity/ies is/are large or relevant, split into its own topic.
• Move levels up and down. Create Miscelaneous Domain / Area levels, split at level 3 with splits currently in level 1 and 2 that may be too specific.

These have been achieved for level 1 and 2, whereas it proved too time consuming for level 3 (excepting moving levels up and down, and the deletion of entities). Note that instead of deleting countries, regions, and cities, these are now bundled in a new topic.
