Add a --too-long option to print too long (by -M) reads to a file instead of discarding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(Enhancement request, not bug)

When too-short reads are discarded using the --minimum-length option to specify 
minimum length, there's a --too-short-output option to write them to a separate 
file.  There's also an --maximum-length option, but currently there doesn't 
seem to be any way of writing the resulting too-long reads to a separate file.  
It would be good to have that option.

Good idea. This should be easily doable, but there are some things that 
currently have higher priority. I do accept patches, by the way ...

This has now been implemented. The new option is called '--too-long-output'. It 
will be part of cutadapt 1.3.
