[Biopython] Deprecating BlastTextParser

[Michiel de Hoon]

Dear all,
The blast_text module in Bio.SearchIO.BlastIO contains a parser for plain-text output from Blast.NCBI and Biopython itself recommend against parsing plain-text Blast output.
As far as I can tell, this module currently has no documentation and no tests.The module relies on the deprecated module Bio.Blast.NCBIStandalone, which relies on the deprecated module Bio.ParserSupport.
Can we deprecate Bio.SearchIO.BlastIO.blast_text ?
Best,-Michiel
