Some suggestions for additions to 'rppr reclass':

* replace *_avg_dist with *_median_dist
* add *_avg_cv calculated as 100*sd/avg of distances currently used to calculate *_avg_dist
* include a heuristic for identifying pairs of taxids that are likely to lack sufficient information to tell them apart phylogenetically: flag relabeled edges that are found within a clade containing all of the representatives of exactly two taxids that are not found elsewhere in the tree.
