Introduce grouping classes into the vaccine hierarchy #619

Right now, the children of VO:0000001 (vaccine) imply several sub-hierarchies, including:

  1. Vaccines organized by what disease they immunize against - #620
  2. Vaccines organized by what pathogen they immunize against - #622
  3. Vaccines organized by what platform they are developed on (e.g., DNA vaccines, RNA vaccines, etc.) - #623
  4. Several singletons

It would be great if we could add some mid-level hierarchy terms to make it easier to isolate terms from each of these groups. I will demonstrate for 1) vaccines by disease, then hopefully later we can tackle 2) and 3) which will have bigger diffs
