Create samplesheet from MINiML file, without processing or downloading #34

Version 1.1 will do this as part of the download or samplesheet CLI functions, but this version should be more interactive. You provide path to a miniml file like GSE122038_family.xml and it confirms how many samples to import, which columns of meta data to include, and tries to assign common meta data fields, including Replicate, Control, Sample_Type, and Visit (for a longitudinal study).

Add to version 1.2

Mostly working. AT least good enough for v1.2 release. It provides better error messages as to why a dataset can't be downloaded now.
