Add "exact source" field to getMsigdb results #3

Description

@TylerSagendorf

Would it be possible to include the "exact source" field to the output of getMsigdb? In most cases, these are more standard identifiers than the uppercase names provided by the MSigDB. For example, the exact source for a Gene Ontology term is just its ID. The IDs could then be replaced with their official descriptions using an OBO file (such as http://release.geneontology.org/2023-05-10/ontology/go-basic.obo), which ends up being much nicer for plotting.

In this case, the official description for "GOBP_10_FORMYLTETRAHYDROFOLATE_METABOLIC_PROCESS" is "10-formyltetrahydrofolate metabolic process". Most of the time, simply replacing underscores with spaces and lowercasing the string would work, but some terms have special capitalization (like "mRNA") that needs to be preserved.
