Move to conda-forge #228

Dear maintainers,

I would be happy if it were possible to move the bioconda recipe to conda-forge.

Conda-forge supports:

  1. More CPU architectures
  2. Is more general-purpose and while Pronto is used with many biological ontologies, it is not limited to only those
  3. conda-forge has a bigger community with more supported packages. They always require to specify to use the bioconda channel if they only want to use Pronto
  4. The conda-forge channel always supersedes the bioconda channel so moving wouldn't break anything and it's in fact commonly done.
