[Feature Request] - Implement PyHMMER backend for better threading scaling #53

Description

@jolespin

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Threading performance is sub-optimal in HMMSearch compared to PyHMMER

Describe the solution you'd like
Either using the official API in the backend of your scripts or the CLI wrapper I made: https://github.com/jolespin/pyhmmsearch which is basically just a wrapper around the main PyHMMER bindings. One good thing about pyhmmsearch (the wrapper) is that it outputs a properly formatted tsv.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Factor in extra overhead costs and bubbles in compute due to inefficient threading.
