These 2 changes improve runtime performance almost as much as Ryan's previous attempt (with ID-based comparisons):
* Don't unnecessarily overload Allele.getBases() in the Haplotype class.
* Haplotype.getBases() was calling clone() on the byte array.
* Added a constructor to Allele (and Haplotype) that takes in an Allele as input.
* It makes a copy of he given allele without having to go through the validation of the bases (since the Allele has already been validated).
* Rev'ed the variant jar accordingly.
For the reviewer: all tests passed before rebasing, so this should be good to go as far as correctness.
The migration of org.broadinstitute.variant into the Picard repo is
complete. This commit deletes the org.broadinstitute.variant sources
from our repo and replaces it with a jar built from a checkout of the
latest Picard-public svn revision.
