[Kraken2 Standalone] Substitute kronatools by krakentools for Krona report visualisation #278

:cool:

:pushpin: Explain the Request

As exposed on PR #225, Krona suppresses viruses from their visualisation, appearing as "other root". It would be nice to find a workaround for this behaviour as it limits the applicability of this report in studies.

:books: Context

As @sage-wright exposed on PR #225:

I'd hate to suggest reworking this, but kraken has a tool that links it to Krona that may work? They're using ktImportText with this so that may work better? Not sure. https://github.com/jenniferlu717/KrakenTools/blob/master/kreport2krona.py See also: https://github.com/jenniferlu717/KrakenTools/blob/master/README.md#2-kreport2kronapy-example-usage
