Add support for CAS / MFCD resolution #374

Closed connorcoley closed 4 years ago

In addition to looking compounds up by name, it would be convenient to allow look-up by CAS number or MFCD. These are not public standards/databases, so we will have to investigate whether there is a REST API that can be used. Some CAS numbers are in PubChem but not all.
