Getting "HTTP 500: Internal Server Error - Server got itself in trouble" when taxon names have single quotes in them

[salix-d]

Seems like the Taxonomy API server can't handle single quotes characters.

• curl::curl_escape : Server doesn't return error, but also doesn't return the record(s).
• \' : same error
• \\' : returns record(s)

> bold::bold_tax_name("Chlamydomonas sp. 'Chile J'")
Error: Internal Server Error (HTTP 500)
> bold::bold_tax_name(curl::curl_escape("Chlamydomonas sp. 'Chile J'"))
                                  input
1 Chlamydomonas%20sp.%20%27Chile%20J%27
> bold::bold_tax_name("Chlamydomonas sp. \'Chile J\'")
Error: Internal Server Error (HTTP 500)
> bold::bold_tax_name("Chlamydomonas sp. \\'Chile J\\'")

The arguments should be checked for single quotes and fixed before building the URL(s).

Made a check and fix function to fix this and the problem with names ending with a dots (sp.) or closing parenthesis (#85). Will contact bold to let them know.
