We have received some interests to annotate VCF file directly in oncokb-annotator. The following items need to be address to support the feature.

Background info

### To-do items(not complete list)
- [ ] Understand vcf2maf, particularly look into whether QUAL/FILTER columns from VCF would need input from users. What's the default  
- [ ] Figure out how long it's gonna take to annotate one variant through vcf2maf(do 100 variants and do an average?)

GenomeNexus produced an annotation-tools for GENIE which is used to merge VCF and MAF files. We can consider using it to annotate VCF.
