bedcov: CLI option to output a header row#2025

Conversation
This functionality adds a commented header line to the bed-like output of bedcov describing each column. Useful as there is otherwise no record of the meaning of columns, as you can't tell from the file if -c or -g was given as both add an additonal set of columns.
Also add new -H option

Hello,
After spending an hour trying to debug a strange result, I realized that I'd accidentally used the output of
samtools bedcov -d 1 ...wheresamtools bedcov -cwas expected. I've added functionality to output a (commented) header line to the bed-like output, so that it's immediately obvious what the meaning of each column is. This is disabled by default, enabled with -H.I also added a hopefully more explicit description of the column order to the man page.
Thanks,
Kevin
