This PR adds definitions (with references whenever possible) and synonyms to:

It also makes fluorescence polarization microscopy a subclass of polarization microscopy (in addition to being a subclass of fluorescence microscopy), since fluorescence polarization microscopy is both a form of microscopy that uses polarised light and a form of microscopy that uses fluorescence.

Relatedly, it also adds definitions to

and re-classifies those terms under a newly created optical anisotropy.

closes #26

Add "optical anisotropy" as a "source of contrast". Reclassify the
following three terms:

* "intrinsic birefringence"
* "stress-induced birefringence"
* form birefringence"

as subclasses of "optical anisotropy" and define them accordingly.
Add a definition for FBbi:00000248 "polarization microscopy", as well as
for FBbi:00000350 ("polarized light illumination") and FBbi:00000352
("polarization-sensitive detection") on which the first term depends.
Add a definition to FBbi:00000603 ("fluorescence polarization
microscopy"). Add "fluorescence anisotropy imaging" and "FAIM" as exact
synonyms. Make it a subclass of "polarization microscopy".

Fix:

* improper use of `dcterms:contributor` where IAO:0000115 was intended;
* oboInOwl:hasSynonymType applied to a term rather to a synonym
  annotation.

looks good as far as I can tell (though I lack domain knowledge here)
