[query] ExtractIntervalFilters only supports equality on contigs

[patrick-schultz]

What happened?

Filtering a locus-keyed dataset will throw an assertion error if any comparison operator other than equality is used on the contig, e.g. mt.locus.contig != 'X'. The relevant assertion is here.

We should add support for at least not-equals. Inequalities would technically also make sense to add, but are probably not likely to be used. If we don't add them, we should at least improve the error.

reproduction example on a039764:

import hail as hl
mt = hl.balding_nichols_model(1, n_samples=100, n_variants=20)
mt = mt.filter_rows(mt.locus.contig != 'X')
mt.count()
