Enhancement

In this release, we enable users to configure the type of genome indexing they used to build genomes with HISAT2. In particular users have the choice of using standard (default) and splice-aware values for the genome_index_type configurable option. Using the standard genome index option instead of the splice-aware option reduces the memory requirement for this particular process from ~200GB, to ~8GB according to HISAT2's documentation.
