Create VEP-compatible releases in CI

[holtgrewe]

I think that it would be feasible to run the VEP-compatible releases in CI.

The main limitation will be memory usage. A possible workaround may be using something like orjson for getting a potentially more memory efficient representation of the transcripts in memory.

We could just build and release everything

If you want to work out the appropriate GTF/GFF to get for a VEP release

Start with this VEP cache table

Eg for VEP 110

Annotation consortium	Genome Build	Location	Version
Ensembl	GRCh37	Last 37 Ensembl release - stuck version?	87
Ensembl	GRCh38	Matches VEP release	110
RefSeq	GRCh37	Listed under row "RefSeq"	2020-10-26 (GCF_000001405.25_GRCh37.p13_genomic.gff)
RefSeq	GRCh38	Listed under row "RefSeq"	110(GCF_000001405.40_GRCh38.p14_genomic.gff)

Note: The dates don't match what's on RefSeq FTP site, may be a few days later
