Final checkpoint: all tests pass. Note that there were bugs in the PoolGenotypeLikelihoodsUnitTest that needed fixing and eventually led to my needing to disable one of the tests (with a note for Guillermo to look into it). Also note that while I have moved over the GATK to use the new non-null representation of Alleles, I didn't remove all of the now-superfluous code throughout to do padding checking on merges; we'll need to do this on a subsequent push.
