Getting more information out of trident list

[TCLamnidis]

After talking with Stephan today, we thought it would be nice to have the option of getting more information about ecah package out of trident list. This would streamline integration into data analysis, and also downstream processes (like thetis).

Below is an example of a TSV with information contained in the POSEIDON.yml of 2 packages as a reference:

poseidon_version	package_dir	title	description	contributors	package_version	last_modified	genotype_format	geno_file	geno_file_chksum	snp_file	snp_file_chksum	ind_file	ind_file_chksum	snp_set	janno_file	janno_file_chksum	sequencing_source_file	sequencing_source_file_chksum	bib_file	bib_file_chksum	readme_file	changelog_file

trident list --remote --packages --raw already shows some of this information, so adding more columns to the ouput with a dedicated flag would do the trick.

Sound like a good idea to me 👍

What would be a solid interface for this? Just a --verbose (?) flag that adds all of these columns to the output? Or a more sophisticated argument to request specific columns?

[TCLamnidis]

IMO spitting out all the info in the YAML file with one flag is enough. It's easy enough to select a subset of columns downstream if need be.
The main thing for my use case here is the package_directory column, which is not in the YANL, but implicitly known (as the path to the file)

This is contingent on an update to the server API, since list also needs to feature --remote, so any listing we perform here must be possible also from the server. So this issue is somewhat contingent on #272 and #273. And I'm working on those.
