[Biopython] Infernal output parser

Hello Samuel,

Looking back over old emails, someone once suggested including an Infernal
parser as part of Bio.SearchIO - I've not used the tool but that sounds a
sensible home. I would probably focus on the tabular output as being
simpler and more robust to parse, but if the text output is stable that
could be OK. I am wary given the history of the BLAST text output which
changed lots over the years.
