minlen capability with MaskPrimers

Issue #12 resolved
Former user created an issue

A minlen capability added to maskPrimers-align would 1 - increase speed ? 2 - obviate some post-processing

Use case: Single cell data uses mixed-length barcodes, to increase the barcode space and add nucleotide diversity (for the sequence). The barcode is called by aligning a long constant sequence that is 3' in the read with maskPrimers-align+cut, then I post-process results with a one-liner to filter for barcodes of a certain length... which works fine but involves non-pRESTO code. just a suggestion; not high priority at al.

    Probably accomplished by either the new MaskPrimers-extract command and/or padding primer sequences with Ns.
