Support more than two variants #87

At the moment tooling only supports models with a single variant of interest and other sequences. Longer term having tooling that supported models with n variants would be great.

This requires fairly extensive changes to the underlying model to be vectorised and to use as multinomial likelihood. Also requires some less extensive updates to the processing code to support.

Note: No current plans to make use of this feature.
