Other metrics to determine which sequence is recombinant #55

From Darren:

OpenRDP uses only the vanilla phylpro methods to identify which of the sequences is the recombinant in a triplet of sequences that yield a recombinant signal. Is that right (again could not see any code for doing that the last time I looked)? RDP uses vanilla phylpro together with 17 other metrics (including tree-distance based variations of phylpro) fed through either a crude human-weighted decision tree or a logistic regression weighted machine-learned formula to make this decision (this latter thing was only added recently and may not be in the version you have on hand).

Since this may be a new feature of RDP, we can prioritize implementing the other two improvements first (e.g., #54 )
