'accept file list in sourmash sig cat (#1236)' - Could we also have it for the sketch function (input fasta files)?

On Windows there is a max number of characters for the command line - VERY annoying when we have a lot of input files. A file list would help a lot! Tnx!!

👍 - also happy to drop you some snakemake Snakefiles that do this for you, which is what we use - enables parallelism! - but this is a great feature idea :)

per Mick - https://twitter.com/BioMickWatson/status/1362753564381175814 - how about updated database etc?

@klamens please see #1362 for --from-file.

@klamens the new feature (--from-file on sourmash sketch) will be released in the next version of sourmash, along with other recent changes. We don't have a firm date for that release but it will be sourmash v4.1.0, probably by end of April.

If you want to try it out before then and need our help, please let us know!

done!
