Docs: Inject web page link into header & Document differences to UMLS/BioPortal rendering #50

Description

@cmungall

We have this page on the obo rendering, where we have tried to make this as transparent as possible, but always room for improvement:

http://obofoundry.org/ontology/ncbitaxon

I think we at least need to make clear on this page that there is a separate bioportal/UMLS rendering. And we should document differences in content, PURLs, and release cycle.

We also need to inject metadata into the header that links to this page. Someone landing here:
https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/ncbitaxon

is none the wiser that they are looking at a specific OBO rendition

I like how on the bioportal page it's (more or less) clear that this comes from UMLS
http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/NCBITAXON

However, there is a lot that is undocumented on both sides. For example, Bioportal/UMLS excludes non-organismal metagenome entries, excludes the fake 'root' class; OBO has a faithful rendering of every NCBI taxonomy ID. There are pros and cons of both approaches.
