[annotation] osmosensor - SF 1873095

[Jodi Hirschman]

Hi,

I proposed a definition and added it to the SF item:
> https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
> func=detail&aid=1873095&group_id=36855&atid=440764

but I also question whether this term is legit.  Seems like BP terms  
like GO: 47484 'regulation of response to osmotic stress' are better.
