Implement AleRax #93

Open austinhpatton opened 1 year ago

Description of feature

We should look into implementing the recently released AleRax into the workflow, potentially as an alternative to generax/speciesrax:

Capable of efficiently inferring both reconciled gene family trees and a shared species tree. Depending on it's implementation of parallelization, may prove a challenge (I.e. if individual gene tree inference tasks need to communicate with a single, shared species tree inference task with MPI).
