Feature: Variant annotations


Hi everyone,
  This is a pull request for adding an Avro IDL file for variant annotations (annotations.avdl). 
  Annotations include records for variant effect, impact, coding and non-coding information, 
clinical relevance, etc.
  It is heavily based on VEP (ENSEMBL's Variant Effect Predictor) and SnpEff (an annotations 
tool I wrote).

The variant ID field is perfect. 
This comment was in reference to the `genotypeRef` field, which I was confused by.

I guess I just didn't understand what "standard reference genome" meant in the comment?
