Adding bio.tools to list of registries

[magnuspalmblad]

As you may know, bio.tools is the ELIXIR software registry for the life sciences, containing over 30,000 software tools and services. While most registries queried by howfairis are domain-agnostic, it would still be very good if bio.tools could be included in the list of registries.

Bio.tools data can be retrieved using an API call, e.g. https://bio.tools/api/tool/?homepage=%22https://github.com/524D/compareMS2%22 for compareMS2. Of course, not all tools in bio.tools have a GitHub repo as their homepage, but very many do, and this would already be a very good start. A further 5,149 tools has one or more "Registry" links, mostly to github.com.

I'd be happy to help if needed, but @vedran-kasalica and @anitamnd from the bio.tools team definitely know more about the bio.tools API and schema.

Thank you again for creating howfairis - I find it really useful!

We have forked the repo and are currently working on adding support for bio.tools registry badges.
