Description: EML allows for multiple study area "descriptions given as /studyAreaDescription/descriptor/descriptorValue while our API model and the GBIF profile only allow a single field. Improve our parser to merge several xml elements into one field.

The following digester rule in EMLParser seems wrong:
    digester.addBeanPropertySetter(prefix + "/studyAreaDescription/descriptor/descriptorValue", "studyAreaDescription");

Comment: Following this morning's discussion, we agreed to parse all para elements, and aggregate them into the single field. Separating each para element with a newline char sounds ideal.
