[#1248] synonym for 'solid astronomical body part' --> 'landform'

Fixes #1248

Looking at Steve's landform definition and the definition for 'solid astronomical body part' I have no objection to including this change.

[meganrwong]

'produced by natural causes' - perhaps 'created by natural Earth processes'.
From here - http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/featureconcept/NaturalGeomorphologicFeature

Noted distinction of natural and not natural land forms

@meganrwong the existing textual definition of http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00000191 is "A part of an astronomical body which is primarily composed of a continuous volume of solid material, shaped by one or more environmental processes." which I think more or less matches your suggestion.

This is attributed to Wikipedia:Landform though I don't see those exact words now

I agree and approve this.

let's merge this

however I want to note a minor terminological issue in that 2 terms have syns of the form "X landform"

http://www.ontobee.org/search?ontology=ENVO&keywords=landform&submit=Search+terms

but are not SCs of SABP

volcanic feature is subclass to astronomical body part instead of solid astronomical body part so I think this could be moved to the more specific parent solid astronomical body part.

glacial feature is a material entity with subclasses like ice mass and snow, hence use of the word "feature" is inconsistent here. This relates to our ongoing ESIP cryosphere and polar work. Perhaps we can improve on this. Any suggestions?

lets' move the ancilliary discussion to a new ticket - sorry for diverting us - we need to get better and faster at merging clearly good PRs like this one, sorry for the delay!

All good thanks @cmungall for merging.
