Avoid issue with pandas and google-api-python-client: pydata/pandas#8581 Thanks to Jonathan Epstein
Move files to sample specific directory during assembly.

This avoids race conditions that can happen when moving the files back.
For joint called samples ensure we pass along each individual sample for downstream processing but still skip splitting into individual VCFs

Use one consequence only with VEP if clinical_reporting is active

When looking for variants at the gene / exon level, sometimes it is
desirable to have only one consequence annotated, in particular for data
in clinical research. bcbio-nextgen already does this with snpEff
(-canonical option), but so far it was not used by VEP.

This patch adds this behavior (defaulting to false, hence not breaking
existing setups. It does so by using VEP's --pick option, introduced in
version 75.

From the VEP docs:

"Pick once line of consequence data per variant, including
transcript-specific columns. Consequences are chosen by the canonical,
biotype status and length of the transcript, along with the ranking of
the consequence type according to this table. This is the best method to
use if you are interested only in one consequence per variant. "
Ensure somatic options applied to single tumor, no normal calling with FreeBayes. Thanks to @mjafin
