Fix egg chamber#2426

Conversation
The term `egg chamber` (UBERON:0003199), intended to refer to the insect egg chamber (FBbt:00004894) had no definition and an incorrect classification. In insects, the egg chamber is *not* an anatomical space where the egg would be, but is instead the follicle, comprising the oocyte, the accompanying nurse cells, and a surrounding layer of follicle cells. We update the classification accordingly, add a proper definition, and a taxon constraint to restrict the term to insects. We also remove the mapping with HAO:0000287 (hymenoptera `anellus`) which seems completely bogus. closes #476
Add a new term to refer to the reproductive follicle with a definition that is generic enough to cover such follicles regardless of inter-species variations. Use that term as a parent for both the vertebrate-specific `ovarian follicle` and the insect-specific `egg chamber`.

This PR fixes the term
egg chamber(UBERON:0003199), which was intended to represent the insect follicle but had no definition and an improper classification (the egg chamber is not a “anatomical space”, it is the follicle itself).The fix includes:
egg chamber, that makes it clear it is an insect-specific term;egg follicle, with a definition that is generic enough to cover reproductive follicles across (hopefully) all species;egg chamberand the vertebrate-specificovarian follicleunder the new termegg follicle.closes #476
