Adding and removing nodes

[lskatz]

Prerequisites

• [x] make sure you're are using the latest version by taxonkit version
  • Version 0.3.0
• [x] read the usage

Describe your issue

• [x] describe the problem
  • I was wondering if you could add new subcommands for adding/removing nodes. I am suggesting the subcommands 'touch' and 'rm' based on unix executables.
• [x] provide a reproducible example
  • taxonkit touch 662 "Vibrio newspecies" #=> adds a new species under taxon id 662 with scientific name "Vibrio newspecies." Prints the new taxon id.
  • taxonkit rm 662 #=> deletes node 662 and all nodes under it. Prints the number of nodes deleted.

To be clear, I know that the taxonomy files are read only. I was wondering if these proposed commands could export a new set of files.

Sorry for late response, I've got no idea.

You can edit the nodes.dmp or names.dump files if you like.
