b) Bug fixes and update to how we represent indels and other complex events in a VariantContext object. Convention is now that all events are left aligned, with the first variant context location marking the common base before an event occurs. However, alleles in a VC don't have the common base in all VC's. Two new functions are now part of VariantContextUtils: CreateVariantContextWithPaddedAlleles and CreateVariantContextWithTrimmedAlleles. Both take a VC as an input and create a VC as an output.
Main flow is that a VCF reader would create a VC with trimmed alleles, all walkers would ideally work with these trimmed alleles, and then the VCF writer would pad back the alleles before writing. However, there are special cases where we need to pad alleles like for example when merging/combining VC's.
Pending issues:
- PED and DBSNP RODs have to be updated to create VC's for indels following the convention above. Changes will go in after Tribble location is moved and things are tested.
- Need to verify Indel genotyper and other modules that create VC's with indels.- Wiki page describing convention above and how walkers should interpret indel VC's still needs updating/detailing.

a) VCF track name can work again with 3.3 or 4.0 VCF's when specifying -B name,VCF,file. Code will read header and parse automatically the version.
b) Old VCF codec is deprecated. Reader goes now direct from parsing VCF lines into producing VariantContext objects, with no intermediate VCF records. If anyone can't resist the urge to still input files using the old method, a new VCF3Codec is in place with the old code, but it will be eventually deleted.
c) VCF headers and VCF info fields no longer keep track of the version. They are parsed into an internal representation and will be output only in VCF4.0 format.
d) As a consequence, the existing GATK bug where files are produced with VCF4 body but VCF3.3 headers is solved.
e) Several VCF 4.0 writer bugs are now solved.
f) Integration test MD5's are changed, mostly because of corrected VCF4.0 headers and because validation data mostly uses now VCF4.0.
g) Several VCF files in the ValidationData/ directory have been converted to VCF 4.0 format. I kept the old versions, and the new versions have a .vcf4 extension.
Pending issues:
a) We are still not dealing with indels consistently or correctly when representing them. This will be a second part of the changes.
b) The VCF writer doesn't use VCFRecord but it does still use a lot of leftovers like VCFGenotypeEncoding, VCFGenotypeRecord, etc. This needs to be simplified and cleaned.

Also, adding some more useful integration tests.

For consistency, these tools should be writing to the walker's output stream and no longer use the -vcf argument.
