Torque teno virus (TTV) is not a valid name #47

So, TTV's distinct genotypes have recently been split into a bunch of numbered species, with Torque teno virus 1 referring to the main human isolate (I believe). TTV is a fine catch-all for the NCBI taxonomy, but needs to be no-rank with genus Alphatorquevirus

For now I have added a manual fix in clovert_dev, ahead of any NCBI-side fixes: all instances of "Torque teno virus" as virus species name are now Anelloviridae>Alphatorquevirus>NA. This has been pushed so good to propagate into VIRION.

Messed up, Ryan still needs to look at this
