Idea: Support upload of BIOM json #115

As I understand it, this tool allows the ability to map CSV and creates BIOM.

Perhaps we should support the ability to create a dataset from a BIOM format? Someone may have used tools like Phyloseq to create files that could then be loaded in here, thus minimising friction.

Note the IPT added functionality to upload a DwC-A, which is very useful, when originally the IPT was conceived as a tool to convert into DwC-A only.

This came up as an idea in discussion with @sformel-usgs

After discussing this further with K. Silliman, it seems that users of QIIME will often have a BIOM file, associated with metadata files for samples and taxa. Katherine will provide some example data for this combination.
