Title: Custom GenBank locus length

Instead of an exception, raise a warning, so the file is saved and the user can decide to correct the error.

I don't know if this is a good pratice, but I have some GenBank files provided by the JGI/DOE with locus names longer than 16 chars, so I guess that providing a warning to the user instead of a complete failure could be better.
