Changes concerning the controlled vocabulary for PTMs

We are continuously overhauling the annotation of post-translational modifications (PTMs). For the feature key MOD_RES, the new introduced controlled vocabularies for PTMs are:

Flavin binding: All entries with annotated flavin-binding sites have the keyword Flavoprotein.

 FMN phosphoryl serine (Keyword: FMN)    
 FMN phosphoryl threonine (Keyword: FMN) 
 O-8alpha-FAD tyrosine (Keyword: FAD)    
 S-4a-FMN cysteine (Keyword: FMN)        
 S-6-FMN cysteine (Keyword: FMN)        
 S-8alpha-FAD cysteine (Keyword: FAD)    
 Tele-8alpha-FAD histidine (Keyword: FAD)
 Tele-8alpha-FMN histidine (Keyword: FMN)

Hydroxylation: All entries with annotated hydroxylation sites have the keyword Hydroxylation.
```
 4,5-dihydroxylysine       
 3,4-dihydroxyproline
```
Other new controlled vocabularies for PTMs that are annotated with the feature key MOD_RES:
```
 O-(sn-1-glycerophosphoryl)serine
```
