parse_sssom_table should take as an input a String, URI, or filepath

[matentzn]

Right now, parse_sssom_table can only do URI and filepath, but for various use cases like the SSSOM Validator UI, we need to be able to read the file from string.

I want to use this opportunity to clean up this method a bit, which is super convoluted as well.

This appears to be done already

Lines 78 to 105 in 41bcdca

	# If the import already is a StrinIO, return it

	return io.StringIO(file_content)
	raise IOError(f"Could not determine the type of input {input}")
