Remap ZFA's 'inferior raphe nucleus'.
ZFA's 'inferior raphe nucleus' (ZFA:0000366) is mapped to Uberon's 'dorsal raphe nucleus' (UBERON:0002043). This is likely wrong for at least two reasons: * the ZFA term refers to a nucleus that is part of the hindbrain, whereas the Uberon term refers to a nucleus that is part of the midbrain; * according to Beecher, Beamer & Bartlett 2019 [1], the 'dorsal raphe nucleus' is one of the *superior* raphe nuclei, which makes it doubtful, even considering possible terminological differences across species, that it should be mapped to an *inferior* raphe nucleus. The same reference states that the 'inferior raphe nucleus' is a complex comprising the following nuclei: * the 'nucleus raphe obscurus' (UBERON:0002684), * the 'nucleus raphe pallidus' (UBERON:0002157), * and the 'nucleus raphe magnus' (UBERON:0002156). In Uberon, those three nuclei are the parts that make up the 'medullary raphe nuclear complex' (UBERON:0002692), leading me to believe that this complex is in fact what ZFA (along with Beecher, Beamer, & Bartlett) calls the 'inferior raphe nucleus'. So here, we remap ZFA's 'inferior raphe nucleus' to 'medullary raphe nuclear complex', and also add a 'inferior raphe nuclei' synonym to the Uberon term. closes #3356 [1] doi:10.1016/B978-0-12-800050-2.00006-1
