v0.7.3

Install piscem 0.7.3

Changes

• Changed the default working directory for files created during index construction
  • This was previously the current directory . and has been made .workdir.noindex. This was done to avoid the temporary creation of many files in the current directory, which could be messy if the execution was terminated early. The .noindex extension is geared at preventing Spotlight from indexing this folder by default on OSX.
• Moved to the cloudflare-based zlib implementation, rather than standard zlib by default in piscem-cpp.
• Added default values for the k-mer (31) and minimizer (19) lengths.
• Grouped many command line parameters under help headings to better organize the output of the --help flag.
• Added better parameter validation for the k-mer length (must be <= 31 and odd).
• Updated crate dependencies, and upgraded cargo-dist version to 0.10.0.

Special thanks to @ialbert for noticing the poor interaction between the cuttlefish temporary files and spotlight and for suggesting placing these in a subdirectory by default, and also for suggesting adopting defaults for the k-mer and minimizer lengths.
