Provide warning regarding filters with only a small number of targets <100 when using miBFs #42

When only a small number of targets are used, the miBF will not be able to classify sequences without incurring a large penality to the FPR when classifying. The result will be that the occupancy of the miBF will have to be turned down for the classification to maintain a decent -s threshold. This show be prevented some how.

Alternative solution automatically adjust upper level BF fpr to maintain a minimum FPR.

Will be solved if #51 is implemented.
