Add a "noisy" profile #539

Description

As suggested in the multi-context seeds (MCS) paper, we should add a profile that sets these parameters: -k 16 -s 12 -l 2 -u 2

One would choose this instead of setting a read length (with -r). On the command-line, we could handle this in two ways:

  • Add a new option and do not allow it to be used together with -r. BWA-MEM and minimap2 use -x to change the profile, but -x is already used in strobealign. Option -P would be available. Available lower-case character options are: adegjnqwyz
  • Or, extend the -r command-line option so that one can write the name of a profile instead of a read length, as in -r noisy

I’m leaning towards the second option at the moment. It’s slightly more difficult to implement, but may be easier to use.
