This way walkers won't see anything except the standard bases plus Ns in the reference.
Added option to turn off this feature (to maintain backwards compatibility).
As part of this commit I cleaned up the BaseUtils code by adding a Base enum and removing all of the static indexes for
each of the bases. This uncovered a bug in the way the DepthOfCoverage walker counts deletions (it was counting Ns instead!) that isn't covered by tests. Fortunately that walker is being deprecated soon...
This is an intermediate commit so that there is a record of these changes in our
commit history. Next step is to isolate the test classes as well, and then move
the entire package to the Picard repository and replace it with a jar in our repo.
-Removed all dependencies on org.broadinstitute.sting (still need to do the test classes,
though)
-Had to split some of the utility classes into "GATK-specific" vs generic methods
(eg., GATKVCFUtils vs. VCFUtils)
-Placement of some methods and choice of exception classes to replace the StingExceptions
and UserExceptions may need to be tweaked until everyone is happy, but this can be
done after the move.
