08.-prefetch-and-fasterq-dump => no listing of output formats

[nick-youngblut]

https://github.com/ncbi/sra-tools/wiki/08.-prefetch-and-fasterq-dump does not list the possible output file formats written by prefetch. I've encountered *.sra, *.sralite, and *.sharq, but are there other formats? What are the differences among the formats?

Moreover, the prefetch CLI docs state:

-T|--type <value>                Specify file type to download. Default: sra 

...but there is not comprehensive list of file types.
