Fixes to pileup code.
Added function for building variant context from genotypes.
Adding indel realignment transform.

Composed of several steps:
* Targets for realignment are generated
* Realignment candidates are generated using the reads at the target site
* If candidates lead to a sufficient improvement, reads are realigned

Adding quantitative comparisons to CompareAdam

This is a major update and extension to the "comparison" framework in CompareAdam.

First, an extension to CompareAdam has been created, that allows for interchangeable "generators" of
pairwise read-comparison metrics.  We've added our own implementations of a few basic metrics, found
in DefaultComparisons, for things like duplicate flags, position of alignment, base qualities, and map
qualities.  These metrics are then aggregated using an aggregator (of which the HistogramAggregator
is the prominent example at the moment).

CompareAdam now runs a set of these metrics over the reads from a given pair of files, and writes output
suitable for graphical report generation using the plots.R script.

The code for this traversal-and-metric-generation has been oved to a class in adam-core, called
ComparisonTraversalEngine.

Finally, a new CLI tool has been added, "find_reads", supported by the class FindReads.  The find_reads
command is written to facilitate diagnostics on ADAM files which differ in one or more metrics.  It takes a
pair of ADAM files, the names of one or more generators, and filter expressions on each of those generators,
and produces the set of read names from the pair of files whose generated metric values fall within the
corresponding filters.

Encoding tag types in the ADAMRecord attributes, adding the 'tags' command.

This commit fixes issue 92 (https://github.com/bigdatagenomics/adam/issues/92).

The old style of encoding the "optional fields" from the SAM/BAM was to store
them as key=value pairs in the ADAMRecord.attributes string. However, this
loses information about the _type_ of the tag/value, which is necessary if
we want to reconstruct the original value type (for example, for re-exporting
BAM files from ADAM files).

This update is non-backwards-compatible, changing the format of the attributes
field to tag:type:value and introducing a new Attribute class for parsing and
handling these values.  It also adds functions to AdamRDDFunctions to allow for
filtering and subsetting of reads based on their tags, or to count the number of
distinct tags or tag-values across a set of reads.
