Remote Field fails if content types are renamed.

BUG/ERROR report

Originally reported when testing PR #439

System information

• Tripal Version: 3-dev
• Drupal Version: 7.x

Issue description

If admin of remote sites change the name of their content types the Remote Field will not work. This seems to be due to it not using the configured query. For example, when my organism content type is re-named to Species I see the following error in my remote field (configured to point at my own dev site):

This is despite my field being configured to query Species?genus=Lens&species=culinaris see config. I've confirmed that changing the name back to Organism fixes the field.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set-up a remote field on your organism content type and confirm it works.
2. Edit the content type at Admin > Structure > Tripal Content Types > Organism > Edit and change the Name: Species.
3. Clear the cache and then refresh your organism page. Your field which was working will now be showing an error.

Hi @laceysanderson I just tested this on my local and am unable to reproduce, ie the query does change when I change it in the field settings of the remote data field. Can you confirm this is still an issue?

I am also getting this error now:

Notice: Undefined variable: remote_entity_link in remote__data_formatter->view() (line 151 of /Sites/Tripal/sites/all/modules/tripal/tripal_ws/includes/TripalFields/remote__data/remote__data_formatter.inc).

Okay, I have submitted a fix via a PR for this. Can you both test it and let me know how it goes?
