Module to deal with SAM records' MD auxillary tag.
This tag is a string encoding mismatched and deleted reference bases,
used in conjunction with CIGAR and SEQ fields to reconstruct the bases
of the reference sequence interval to which the alignment has been mapped.
This can enable variant calling without require access to the entire original reference.
