genevintage: Detect Annotation Releases and Repair Gene Names

Detects the species and the 'Ensembl' <https://www.ensembl.org> or 'GENCODE' <https://www.gencodegenes.org> annotation release associated with a set of gene or transcript identifiers by scoring them against a bundled fingerprint of each release. Identifiers are then converted to gene names using the matching release. Gene symbols that spreadsheet software turned into dates or numbers ('SEPT9' to '9-Sep') are restored to the spelling of the chosen release. Also retrieves genes by class (mitochondrial, sex-linked, protein-coding, ribosomal, transfer RNA, long non-coding RNA), exon-union gene lengths, 'Entrez' cross-references, and orthologs in another species from 'Ensembl Compara'.
