Summary: Taxon blocks do not have unique titles

Initial Comment:
This is a new bug introduced after fixing bug 3291519. The combined NEXUS download properly creates distinct taxon blocks for each analysis, and it properly links each tree block and character block with it's corresponding taxon block. The only problem here is that the title given to each taxon block is the same -- which will confuse Mesquite when reading the file. Each taxa block title must be unique, and perhaps the logical solution is to name it according to the Analysis ID (currently it is probably named according to the original name in the uploaded NEXUS).  So, for example, this study has six taxon blocks, all called "Taxa":

http://purl.org/phylo/treebase/phylows/study/TB2:S11618?format=nexus

... But perhaps they should be given titles like the analysis IDs shown in the analysis downloads, e.g. this one in the same study:

http://treebase.org/treebase-web/search/downloadAnAnalysisStep.html?analysisid=7476&id=11618

... which is "TaxaForAnalysisStep7476". (but perhaps better to write "Taxa_For_Analysis_Step_7476").
