Transfer Manager, Cookie, and Tools into separate packages #163

What are you trying to accomplish?

The Manager, Cookies, and Tools modules will be moved to the snakebox package.

Why?

When this package was initially created, the OrthoEvol module was designed to primarily feature a simplified workflow to generate orthologs of genes of interest by using blastn, alignment programs, and maximum likelihood via software.

Over the course of creating the package, we developed tools that aided in that workflow that we added to the package.

At this moment, it'd be best to move those tools to a separate package. That will allow this repository/package to focus on the actual bioinformatics. It will decrease the size of the code base and make it easier to address issues with the code as well as create more versatility for this package.
