This PR is still missing tests for the --dry-run option and some investigation is needed to ensure it works as expected in a non-development environment (where pyani versiondb would not be called from a dev pyani directory, and so the requisite alembic config files would be located elsewhere.

[baileythegreen]

In the interest of having the database migration functionality merged sooner, I would suggest that tests for the --dry-run option here be made a separate issue. The --dry-run option is neither the main purpose of this issue, nor does the migration capability hinge upon the --dry-run working correctly.
