This release adds MaSuRCA scaffolder to the code. The MaSuRCA scaffolder scaffolds and gapfills existing assembled contigs or scaffolds with long reads from PacBio or Oxford Nanopore technologies, or contigs or scaffolds from another assembly of the same genome. The gapfill sequence is computed from PacBio or Nanopore consensus. The scaffoldder runs automatically as post-processor for assembly internally, resulting in significant improvement in assembly contiguity. The scaffolder script is called masurca_scaffold.sh and is invoked as follows:

masurca_scaffold.sh -r -q -t -o <maximum overhang, default 1000> -m <minimum matching length, default 5000>

Also I updated the code of several submodules to make it compatible with C++10.
