renaming request for PO:0009002 : cell

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

I just checked various anatomy, cell type and GO. Except GO and cell 
type ontology there is no instance of use of 'cell' as a generic one. 
All the anatomy ontologies have cell types but no grouping term such as 
'cell'.

SO looks like we should be okay to rename it and put a DBXref to cell 
type ontology term 'plant cell'.
