[Feature request]: batch taxonomic matching endpoint #204

Description

@baydenwillms

Hello,

Would you consider adding a batch endpoint for backbone name matching (on POST /v1/species/match), so users can submit several names per request (whatever limit you prefer)? This would help a lot for data publishing pipelines like edna2obis that match thousands of names in a single run.

For example, in edna2obis we currently support both WoRMS and GBIF taxonomic matching, and because WoRMS allows name batches of 50 per request, the code runs much faster for WoRMS assignment.

Thank you for considering it!
