Description of the bug

When trying to build a database of 20k genomes, where createtaxdb supplies a single FASTA will all genomes in it, it kept crashing due to OOM errors.

I realised I had forgot to give --by-seq option, so the tool was expecting all 20k genomes to be one single reference genome.

I should either add a specific option (my current feeling, as we force the single FASTA on the user due to the codee) or document that this should be supplied
