Heading into the sunset

The future

This is probably the last release of Prokka. I won't be making any code changes except bug fixes. I will update the databases occasionally. I strongly recommend you use Bakta by @oschwengers instead - it's a great successor to Prokka without all the technical debt from what was my first real bioinformatics tool. Keep on annotatiing! :-)

• Removed all bundles binaries - please use bioconda or environment.yml
• New sprot DBs for bacteria, archaea, viruses
• New HAMAP HMMs for bacteria, archaea
