`redbiom search metadata` should support finding samples where a category is not null #57

It would be pleasant to be able to do:

$ redbiom search metadata "where foo is not None"

And the result would be any sample where that category foo exists

Instead of using the query structures, it may be better to capture this and query directly. We should be storing what samples have what metadata category already in redis so I think it's just an SMEMBERS call
