    Things that would be nice to have
        - dynamic N_REF_PAD
        - for stop-lost events (also in frameshifts) report the number of truncated aa's
        - memory could be greatly reduced by indexing gff (but it is quite compact already)
        - deletions that go beyond transcript boundaries are not checked at sequence level
            - alloc tscript->ref in hap_finalize, introduce fa_off_beg:16,fa_off_end:16
            - see test/csq/ENST00000573314/insertion-overlap.vcf #1476288882

    The gff parsing logic
        We collect features such by combining gff lines A,B,C as follows:
            A .. gene line with a supported biotype
                    A.ID=~/^gene:/

            B .. transcript line referencing A with supported biotype
                    B.ID=~/^transcript:/ && B.Parent=~/^gene:A.ID/

            C .. corresponding CDS, exon, and UTR lines:
                    C[3] in {"CDS","exon","three_prime_UTR","five_prime_UTR"} && C.Parent=~/^transcript:B.ID/

        For coding biotypes ("protein_coding" or "polymorphic_pseudogene") the
        complete chain link C -> B -> A is required. For the rest, link B -> A suffices.


    The supported consequence types, sorted by impact:
        splice_acceptor_variant .. end region of an intron changed (2bp at the 3' end of an intron)
        splice_donor_variant    .. start region of an intron changed (2bp at the 5' end of an intron)
        stop_gained             .. DNA sequence variant resulting in a stop codon
        frameshift_variant      .. number of inserted/deleted bases not a multiple of three, disrupted translational frame
        stop_lost               .. elongated transcript, stop codon changed
        start_lost              .. the first codon changed
        inframe_altering        .. combination of indels leading to unchanged reading frame and length
        inframe_insertion       .. inserted coding sequence, unchanged reading frame
        inframe_deletion        .. deleted coding sequence, unchanged reading frame
        missense_variant        .. amino acid (aa) change, unchanged length
        splice_region_variant   .. change within 1-3 bases of the exon or 3-8 bases of the intron
        synonymous_variant      .. DNA sequence variant resulting in no amino acid change
        stop_retained_variant   .. different stop codon
        start_retained_variant  .. start codon retained by indel realignment
        non_coding_variant      .. variant in non-coding sequence, such as RNA gene
        5_prime_UTR_variant
        3_prime_UTR_variant
        intron_variant          .. reported only if none of the above
        intergenic_variant      .. reported only if none of the above


    The annotation algorithm.
        The algorithm checks if the variant falls in a region of a supported type. The
        search is performed in the following order, until a match is found:
            1. idx_cds(gf_cds_t) - lookup CDS by position, create haplotypes, call consequences
            2. idx_utr(gf_utr_t) - check UTR hits
            3. idx_exon(gf_exon_t) - check for splice variants
            4. idx_tscript(tscript_t) - check for intronic variants, RNAs, etc.

        These regidx indexes are created by parsing a gff3 file as follows:
            1.  create the array "ftr" of all UTR, CDS, exons. This will be
            processed later and pruned based on transcript types we want to keep.
            In the same go, create the hash "id2tr" of transcripts to keep
            (based on biotype) which maps from transcript_id to a transcript. At
            the same time also build the hash "gid2gene" which maps from gene_id to
            gf_gene_t pointer.

            2.  build "idx_cds", "idx_tscript", "idx_utr" and "idx_exon" indexes.
            Use only features from "ftr" which are present in "id2tr".

            3.  clean data that won't be needed anymore: ftr, id2tr, gid2gene.

    Data structures.
        idx_cds, idx_utr, idx_exon, idx_tscript:
            as described above, regidx structures for fast lookup of exons/transcripts
            overlapping a region, the payload is a pointer to tscript.cds
