An "edge list" is two columns in a table, where each row defines a taxon-supertaxon relationship.
The contents of the edge list will be used as taxon IDs.
The whole table will be included as a data set in the output object.
parse_edge_list(input, taxon_id, supertaxon_id, taxon_name, taxon_rank = NULL)
