merge_lists changes accid so that it points to the wrong accepted name #124

I was thinking that I should check for names that might appear more than once in the list (for instance, one source says it is accepted while another says it is a synonym of something). So, I sorted the merged names by canonical and picked some to check out.

Acanthopsylla hollandi Appears in my expert list as an accepted name and in CoL as a synonym of Frontopsylla adixsterna but in my merged list, the accid for the CoL Acanthopsylla hollandi points to Libyastus smiti. The accid was transformed in the merge process and is now incorrect for the CoL version.
