what query and against types does manysearch actually support?

[ctb]

running into problems using zip files as queries, and other things. need to look into this!

Might this be another zip internal_location issue? sourmash-bio/sourmash#3009

In load_sketches, I used it as the location of the sig. But, the minhash should be loaded properly from the zip...

sketchinfo.push(SmallSignature {
                    location: record.internal_location().to_string(),
                    name: sig.name(),
                    md5sum: sig.md5sum(),
                    minhash,
                })

I poked around a bit and I absolutely do not understand what is going on 😆 . So, you know, please hold...

it looks like my podar-ref.zip file is wonky in some way. Digging.

ah-hah! it looks like zip files must contain a manifest, and if they don't, branchwater barfs and tries to read it as a pathlist or something.

this makes sense. I just assumed all zips would have manifests and didn't do any special handling otherwise.

spent some time tracking this down over in #237 - looks like zip files cannot be loaded from either pathlists or manifests.

we might also want to support traversing zip files without manifests. Or (probably better!) more politely erroring out if zip files don't contain a manifest.

closing in favor of #264 and #266
