tnrs.py: tnrs_request(): Added comment that names containing only whitespace characters are ignored by TNRS and do not receive a response row. Our tnrs_db and reimport pipeline handles the necessary re-matching-up by just creating taxonpaths for each Name_submitted, and then letting the data import process on the following import attach to the prepopulated taxonpaths.

    Note that names containing only whitespace characters (after gwt_encode())
70
    are ignored by TNRS and do not receive a response row. Thus, you should
71
    always match up the Name_submitted returned by TNRS with the actual

    submitted name to determine the corresponding TNRS response row.
