Improvements needed to importChemkinLibrary.py and loadChemkinFile()

[mliu49]

As highlighted by #1581 and #1582, there are a number of improvement which should be made to importChemkinLibary.py and the Chemkin file parser. Note that importChemkinLibrary.py is located in RMG-database/scripts, but I thought I would post the issue here for visibility.

• [ ] Check for and ignore comment lines when searching for the main input sections (code location)
• [ ] Check that species in the Chemkin file have adjacency lists provided in the dictionary (this could be implemented in chemkin.pyx, or we could catch the error and provide a helpful message here)
• [ ] Don't append the source library to the long description in the kinetics library entry if reaction.library is "Unclassified" (code location)
• [ ] Add readComments argument to importChemkinLibrary.py which can be passed to loadChemkinFile so we ignore comments when loading non-RMG files.

Hi @mliu49 , Any updates on this script? Since I also want to import the library using this script but encounter many errors.
