nomenclature changes

02JUNE2023 XB curators note that NCBI has >8,000 genes called 'oocyte zinc finger protein XlCOF6.1 and XlCOF6.1-like' in invertebrates and vertebrates.

Most, if not all, have LOC# gene symbols, we decided to dumped the LOC# for a more informative gene symbol, and went for xlcof6.1l, but we doubt any of the other taxa will follow this symbol change. Note the 'xl' does not stand for Xenopus laevis- just a coincidence we think.
