Include trimmed adapters in header line #16

It would be useful to include the name of the adapters in the header line of FASTA/FASTQ output:

I'm currently trying to use Porechop on the Albertsen Lab sequences, and it would be nice to know which (if any) adapters are found in sequences so that I can identify reads that are likely to be high quality.

Thanks for the idea - I'll try to implement this in the next version! Perhaps as an opt-in behaviour you turn on with an option, --header_note or something.
