Support type 'namedComplex'

Support in converter

Support an incoming factoid model entity type namedComplex that represents a complex. This differs from a factoid model entity type complex in that it has no components, and thus can be treated as a 'black-box'.

In factoid, namedComplex will have a FamPlex identifier. This can be used in an Xref (bp:UnificationXref) attached directly to it.

Alternative - Factoid converts namedComplex to complex

Could convert the namedComplex in Factoid to a regular complex in the outgoing BioPAX template. In this way, the BioPAX converter need only support black-box complexes with no components. An xref would still be available for tagging the complex instance with a UnificationXref.

Using the alternative solution: Do the necessary conversion to a regular complex in factoid.
