DataSource hierarchy

Description

Some BioDataSources? are hard to categorize in the current flat list structure.

Classic example is "Ensembl" versus "Ensembl Human"

Some mappers refer to specific affy arrays (eg. "affy_hgu133a"), others refer to affy as a whole.

A possible solution is to implement hierarchical relations between DataSources?. E.g. DataSources? can have parent-child relationships.

The impact for the mapID method still has to be evaluated.
