Eric Banks 7cab709a88 Fixed the logic of the @Output annotation and its interaction with 'required'.
ALL GATK DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ NOTES BELOW:

I have updated the @Output annotation to behave differently and to include a 'defaultToStdout' tag.
  * The 'defaultToStdout' tags lets walkers specify whether to default to stdout if -o is not provided.
  * The logic for @Output is now:
    * if required==true then -o MUST be provided or a User Error is generated.
    * if required==false and defaultToStdout==true then the output is assigned to stdout if no -o is provided.
      * this is the default behavior (i.e. @Output with no modifiers).
    * if required==false and defaultToStdout==false then the output object is null.
      * use this combination for truly optional outputs (e.g. the -badSites option in AssessNA12878).

  * I have updated walkers so that previous behavior has been maintained (as best I could).
    * In general, all @Outputs with default long/short names have required=false.
    * Walkers with nWayOut options must have required==false and defaultToStdout==false (I added checks for this)
  * I added unit tests for @Output changes with David's help (thanks!).
  * #resolve GSA-837
