r539: use --splice-flank=yes by default

In human/mouse, the GTr..yAG pattern occurs to 91/92% of all GT-AG introns.
Modeling r..y clearly leads to higher accuracy. However, in SIRV, this
percentage is reduced to ~60%. The default "--splice --splice-flank=yes"
leads to lower accuracy. If someone benchmark minimap2 on SIRV, this would be
bad, but minimap2 is developed for practical applications, not for benchmarks.
I will live with that.

Assume the next base to a
.B GT
donor site tends to be A/G (91% in human and 92% in mouse) and the preceding
base to a
.B AG
acceptor tends to be C/T [yes with
.BR --splice ].
This trend is evolutionarily conservative, all the way to S. cerevisiae
(PMID:18688272). Specifying this option generally leads to higher junction
accuracy by several percents, so it is applied by default with
.BR --splice .
However, the SIRV control does not honor this trend
(only ~60%). This option reduces accuracy. If you are benchmarking minimap2
on SIRV data, please add
.B --splice-flank=no
to the command line.
