Title: Extraction of meta-data from 454 universal accession number read names 

Read names generated by recent 454 machines contain encoded meta-data about the time of the run, the region that the read came from, and the coordinates of the read in that region. See http://seqanswers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=22558&postcount=5 for a description.

This adds functions to Bio.SeqIO.SffIO to extract this meta-data and calls these function to populate appropriate entries in a read's annotations if the read name is exactly 14 characters long.
