GMOD/jbrowse — Issue #72: feature additional data not really loadable

Right now, with the exception of erstwhile (and unfinished) --extraData option to flatfile-to-json.pl, there is no support in the Perl formatting tools for storing additional data fields about features.

Original email that motivated this, from Heewook Lee:

I am using biodb-to-json.pl with a gff3 file and I noticed that all the attributes on
my gff file (except for Name and Alias) are being ignored) Is there way to display
these attributes upon clicking the entry shown on jBrowse? Thanks
