support Jaccard and angular similarity calculations #39

Open ctb opened 1 day ago

these are both calculated in sourmash, albeit for FracMinHash sketches.

ref for angular similarity: wikipedia

abundance projection has also been useful over in sourmash, in which the abundances from one set of k-mers are projected onto the (flat) k-mers from another; the specific use case in sourmash has been to support reference genome abundance estimation in metagenomes. we might do something similar here.
