Automatically check `taxonKey` changes at GBIF side

We should be able to check the taxonKey behind the list of species automatically so that we should be notified of sudden ID changes at GBIF side. Such changes are rare, but they happened already once and we do not have any instrument at the moment to detect them immediately.
I was thinking to a GitHub action to daily harvest the nubKey of the RIPARIAS target list checklist. And in case there is a change, authomatically trigger an issue. Still to think where implementing it, in the riparias-target-list repo or in this repo? I would opt for the first option but that's just an opinion.

Thanks Damiano!

Indeed, we need to be informed of such changes. Implementing via a GitHub action on the riparias-target-list is good to me. Don't hesitate to tell (and assign me this issue) if you want me to implement it (or to thing or another way/place to implement such as feature).

I like you agree on this. I have some ideas and we will discuss it next week 👍

Action is performed every night or on demand.
