Release 2.1 of BWA-MEM2.

Changes since the last release (2.0):

Smaller index: the index size on disk is down by 8 times and in memory by 4 times due to moving to only one type of FM-index (2bit.64 instead of 2bit.64 and 8bit.32) and 8x compression of suffix array. For example, for human genome, index size on disk is down to ~10GB from ~80GB and memory footprint is down to ~10GB from ~40GB. There is a substantial decrease in index IO time due to the reduction and hardly any performance impact on read mapping.
Added support for 2 more execution modes: sse4.2 and avx.
Fixed multiple bugs including those reported in Issues #71, #80 and #85.
Merged multiple pull requests.

This is the first production release of BWA-MEM2.

Changes since the last release:

Made the source code more secure with more than 300 changes all across it.
Added support for memory re-allocations in case the pre-allocated fixed memory is insufficient.
Added support for MC flag in the sam file and support for -5, -q flags in the command line.
The output is now identical to the output of bwa-mem-0.7.17.
Merged index building code with FMI_Search class.
Added support for different ways to input read files, now, it is same as bwa-mem.
Fixed a bug in AVX512 sam processing part, which was leading to incorrect output.

The tool is described in the paper:

Vasimuddin Md, Sanchit Misra, Heng Li, Srinivas Aluru. Efficient Architecture-Aware Acceleration of BWA-MEM for Multicore Systems. IEEE Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS), 2019.

Pre-release

Miscellaneous changes:

Changed the license from GPL to MIT.
IMPORTANT: the index structure has changed since commit 6743183. Please
rebuild the index if you are using a later commit or the new release.
Added charts in README.md comparing the performance of bwa-mem2 with bwa-mem.

Major code changes:

Fixed working for variable length reads.
Fixed a bug involving reads of length greater than 250bp.
Added support for allocation of more memory in small chunks if large
pre-allocated fixed memory is insufficient. This is needed very rarely
(thus, having no impact on performance) but prevents asserts from failing
(code from crashing) in that scenario.
Fixed a memory leak due to not releasing the memory allocated for seeds
after smem.
Fixed a segfault due to non-alignment of small allocated memory in the
optimized banded Smith-Waterman.
Enabled working with genomes larger than 7-8 billion nucleotides (e.g. Wheat
genome).
Fixed a segfault occuring (with gcc compiler) while reading the index.
