Optional histogram plotting #3

Hello, thanks for the great work on this project! I am using HALPER on a server and had some trouble installing matplotlib. I was more interested in the bed file output than visualizing as a histogram (cool feature!) and found it faster to just circumvent the matplotlib dependency by moving the import into the make_hist function and adding a command line argument that allows you to prevent make_hist from being called.

Histogram creation can be turned off by adding the -noHist flag to your arguments, if -noHist is not passed then the histogram is created by default.

Maybe this would be helpful for others who are limited on what they can install dependency wise.
