String entries in STAR field cause ValueError when retrieving any ChebiEntity #20

Description

@abarysh

It appears that, in the most recent releases of the CheBI database, the "STAR" field contains strings (e.g., "MetaboLights") in addition to integers. This generates a ValueError in _parsers.py (see below for the traceback).

Interestingly, when running the same command a 2nd time, the error does not appear.
