Detect adapters from overhangs of aligned inserts. #65

For paired end reads, an easy way of detecting adapter sequences is to try to align read pairs, and, if there is a confident enough alignment, assume the overhangs are part of the adapter sequences. With enough examples, the full adapter sequences can be recovered.
