[dataimport] Uniformize the API across the different stores. This is achieved by modifying the ``relate`` method so that it takes an extra ``**kwargs``. More specifically, ``SQLGenObjectStore``'s ``relate`` method needs the the type of the subject entity which is passed through ``**kwargs`` as the ``subjtype`` keyword argument. Actually, it is the ``add_relation`` method of the ``SQLGenObjectStore`` who needs this argument. However, as this method is not called directly (but via the ``relate`` method), the ``subjtype`` argument is passed to ``add_relation`` via ``relate``. The other stores' ``relate`` methods do not need this extra argument, hence for the other stores ``**kwargs`` is empty. In this manner, the API is unified across the different stores.
