Minimap2-2.0rc1 (r232)

This release improves the accuracy of long-read alignment and added several
minor features.

• Improved mapping quality estimate for short alignments containing few seed
  hits.

• Fixed a minor bug that affects the chaining accuracy towards the ends of a
  chain. Changed the gap cost for chaining to reduce false seeding.

• Skip potentially wrong seeding and apply dynamic programming more frequently.
  This slightly increases run time, but greatly reduces false long gaps.

• Perform local alignment at Z-drop break point to recover potential inversion
  alignment. Output the SA tag in the SAM format. Added scripts to evaluate
  mapping accuracy for reads simulated with pbsim.

This release completes features intended for v2.0. No major features will be
added to the master branch before the final v2.0.
