move "convert windows newlines" tool into an other place #9

This tool looks strange to me. If the purpose of this tool is to convert windows newlines only for ProteinPilot, as the name suggest, we should include the tr magic into the wrapper of ProteinPilot.

If such a tool is really missing in general we should put it into a text-manipluation repository, e.g. here: https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/tree/master/text_processing/text_processing

Anyone know if this is still a problem or does Galaxy take care of this? @jmchilton @jj-umn ?

Ugh... I don't remember why it is a separate tool. I imagine group2xml used to produce tabular files outputs them with windows newlines - Galaxy will fix uploads but not tabular files created by other tools - but I a not sure why I didn't "fix" them in the tool. Hmm... the folks at MSI may be able to look at the workflows and determine if this needs to be a tool or not still.
