Improve parsing of complex author strings

[KatjaSchulz]

Some names with complex author strings don’t get parsed properly, resulting in part of the author string being interpreted as an epithet. I have seen this happen if the following declarations are included in the author string: non|nec|fide|vide|ms

Examples:

names string > gnparser FullCanonical
Eulima excellens Verkrüzen fide Paetel, 1887 > Eulima excellens fide
Amathia tricornis Busk ms in Chimonides, 1987 > Amathia tricornis ms

Porina reussi Meneghini in De Amicis, 1885 vide Neviani (1900) > Porina reussi vide

As far as I know non, nec, ms, fide, or vide are not legitimate epithets for any species or subspecies. Catalogue of Life has a few ciliates with “non” as the infraspecific epithet, but the GSD that provides these names has all kind of other data quality problems, so I think these epithets are probably also artifacts due to similar parsing errors in the past.

@KatjaSchulz, do I understand correctly that 'Aus bus Beck in Ken', 'Aus bus Beck ms in Ken', 'Aus bus Beck ex Ken' are all variants of the same?

[KatjaSchulz]

Yes, I think these can be variants of the same name, albeit with slight differences in meaning. They all indicate that the author of the name (Beck) is not the author of the work in which the name was published. The ms (or sometimes also MS) apparently indicates that the name originated in an unpublished manuscript, e.g., here's the Chimonides, 1987 reference for "Amathia tricornis Busk ms in Chimonides, 1987": https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/2301924

What do you think about treating it this way @KatjaSchulz? It is similar to how we currently do it for in and ex

Looks perfect, thanks!
