Determine genotype call from PL field in VCF files #13

Currently, the genotype call is interpreted from the GT field, which is not always reflective of the PL field. GT is determined somewhat based on Hardy-Weinburg, which does not apply to our populations.

Though this is the ideal approach for our own group, I can't help but wonder about other prospective users of the loader. Is using PL a generic approach? Or will other groups want to load genotypes solely based on GT? Should we make it an option?
