Feature request -- Diagram window tick marks on the bounding circle to show relative base pair positions

[maxieds]

I do not want to be of the hat variety that says see descriptive subject line above, so I will fill in a few details. @ceheitsch has requested this feature to clarify the relative positions of the base pairs on the circle. In particular, she notes that "at a minimum we probably should have 'tick marks' around the [bounding diagram window] circle so that a user has some sense of the position of the pairings".

While the arc diagram type we have implemented in RNAStructViz has the pro of standardizing the way we compare overlapping (nested, disjoint) pairs across multiple structures (rather than CT file samples of the same organism), this semi-standardized viewpoint is subject to scaling: the more pairs (base pairs, sequence entries for the structure) present in the data file for an organism, the tighter we will need to in-space these numbered entries around the circle.

This feature should be of help to biologists in interpreting the diagrams our software can produce in practice. This is much like issue #18 posted by @irishryoon which is a feature specifically requested as feedback from our users. Note that other feature requests are highly suggested as new issues by our active user base.

Time Estimate: 2-5 hours 5-7 hours of active developer time

@irishryoon @ceheitsch Is this formatting useful?

@maxieds That would be super helpful!
