modify qname

[ruqianl]

Hi Brent,

I'm wondering if there is any easy way to modify a record.qname as I would like to add additional information to it.

Cheers,
Ruqian

I agree this would be nice to have. But, it is actually not trivial as it requires updating the entire bam record. You can see how pysam does it here
I would gladly accept a PR for this. If not, I will have a look soon.

I went ahead and added this as set_qname(r:Record, qname:string)
please let me know any problems. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for that, I tested that add it works well!
