Minor change to make these utilities' --help options follow the GNU conventions. And so be conveniently greppable.


          Make bgzip --help and tabix --help write to standard output

0ea1a6c

When asked for with --help, the usage should go to standard output
(so that it can be grepped) and the program should exit successfully.
See <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7977852/what-are-the-conventions-for-stdout-stderr-messages/>.
