non-ATGC support

[ekg]

xg should support protein space graphs. Doing this is as simple as allowing the storage of raw characters in the sequence vector of the graph.

From what I can tell, there are negligible improvements in performance from using the 3-bit encoding that we have. Another arrangement should be evaluated that is flexible to support protein space graphs.

If we restrict this to XG that's probably fine, but I think it would break a ton of code in VG.

I mean that it will just be OK to have character width stuff in XG.
