      General-purpose routine to create a new resource in the output model, based on data provided
      output_model    - Versa connection to model to be updated
      rtype           - Type IRI for the new resource, set with Versa type
      unique          - list of key/value pairs for determining a unique hash for the new resource
      links           - list of key/value pairs for setting properties on the new resource
      id_helper       - If a string, a base URL for the generatd ID. If callable, a function used to return the entity. If None, set a default good enough for testing.
      existing_ids    - set of existing IDs to not recreate, or None, in which case a new resource will always be created
