Fetch taxonomic and functional information for UniProt id's

[tibvdm]

Endpoint that enables a user to fetch the taxonomic and functional information, given a list of UniProt identifiers.

A different tool (PathwayPilot) wants to retrieve taxonomic and functional information for both peptides and UniProt id's. Unipept already provides and endpoint for peptides (peptinfo), but not for proteins.

Since Unipept already stores an index over de UniProt accession id's, we can easily add a protinfo endpoint that contains the same information and format as its peptide counterpart. The added benefits over other endpoints are:

• An identical format as the peptinfo endpoint. This allows end users to work with the same data, independently from
  the input.
• Batch requests. This endpoint can process multiple UniProt id's fast, while other resources are limited and thus slower.

All looks good!

Can you add a little more info about why this was added?

I updated the description with some extra information regarding the new endpoint.

👍 I would also add public docs to the unipept website
