Allow levenshtein_distance to be senstitive to different interchanging bases #38

In general, purines (A and G) and pyrimidines(C and T) are more likely to interchange between each other. Similarly, indels are rarer than substitutions. Adapting levenshtein_distance to this behavior may be valueable.
