Update to the sfm command:
Added merging of headers when using the sfm command with a directory
containing multiple files as input.
The merging respects the requirements outlined in the SAM spec:
- order of sequence dictionaries is kept
- read group identifiers are made unique if needed + optional rg tags of
reads are updated accordingly - program line identifiers are made unique if needed + optional pg tags
of reads are updated accordingly - comment lines are merged
- the sorting order is set to Unknown
If elprep cannot merge while guaranteeing the above constraints, an
error is produced.
