DelayedMatrix with a BigWig-derived seed #3

A BigWigSeed would be great to have. Out of scope for this project, but related so jotting down here.

Might wrap a BigWigFile instance from rtracklayer. Would get certain summarisation options "for free" from the Kent library: these are highly optimised for certain summaries[1].

[1] bigWig files contain summarised data along with the actual data. In some cases, this means that summaries of the data can be derived from these summary data rather than parsing the actual data (http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html)
