Download multiple taxons

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently it datasets command accepts only one taxon. That would be time consuming and inconvenient.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to do something like this:
datasets download virus genome taxon Alphainfluenzavirus,Betainfluenzavirus,Deltainfluenzavirus,Gammainfluenzavirus --filename Influenzaviruses.zip. Or this:
datasets download virus genome --taxon Alphainfluenzavirus --taxon Betainfluenzavirus --taxon Deltainfluenzavirus taxon Gammainfluenzavirus --filename Influenzaviruses.zip
Both are good but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Thank you
