I would like to be able to use voronoi on phylogenetic trees directly as well, rather than having to go through placement and a reference package.

Some set of sequence names would be specified via a `--query-sequence` flag. Those sequences would then be deleted from the tree and turned into placements (like for prepsim) and then run voronoi as usual.

It seems to be that the only clean way to do this is to put together a
voronoi cmdobj that factors out much of the action and flags, and then
have two subcommands, `voronoi` and `voronoinwk`. Hopefully you can
think of something better.
