make sure species code == AOU about birdsize HOT 3 CLOSED

The species_ID in my copy of the MATSS data does not match the species_id in BBS data I downloaded from the retriever this year, nor does it match the AOU.

This strikes me as problem for both birdsize and for downstream analyses.

If you pull the $metadata$species_table from a MATSS object there is a column for id and for species_id, one of these may match the AOU or species_id columns from the retriever.

Then it may also be possible to stitch together which "id"ish column from MATSS data corresponds to species_id in raw_masses, and from there re-connect the retriever data with raw_masses.

See #41 and the add_aou branch.

The id column in MATSS-derived data corresponds to the BBS AOU identifier with "sp" pasted onto the front. I updated the raw_masses and sd_table datasets to include the BBS AOU, and updated the functions to use the BBS AOU as the species id. (The species_id column in MATSS is not good for interfacing with the BBS data as it comes directly from the retriever).
