Allow users to mistakenly use '-' for empty ref/alt #78

Currently the civic client displays None values as -, some users may interpret this to mean that the - is a discrete value that is used in the CIViC data tables.

We should correct users if they use a - in queries for CIViCpy, and consider issuing a warning message about improper usage.
