gridline spacing should be controllable from client (or they can be hidden) #31

You should be able to control gridline spacing. Or add "minor" (fainter) gridlines. For example, at the most-zoomed-in view, I may want to have a minor line every 5 nt, and a major line every 10 nt. You should also be able to turn gridlines off completely (the UCSC Browser allows this).

This will be especially handy if you are going to be displaying alignment tracks.

This feature is complementary to #44 but neither one is a substitute for the other long-term -- they both address different parts of the "seeing how things align by eye" problem for different use cases. Controlling gridlines, for example, would be very useful for making publication figures.

Have minor gridlines now.

Maybe have this as a checkbox item in a dropdown menu that comes from right-clicking on the scale bar?
