Bugfix release, some enhancements

Bugfixes
- Fix use of regular expressions for CDR3 identification
- Fix insertion of IgBLAST score and E-values into the database
- Fix loss of sequences with long CDR3 and a mutated end-of-CDR3
  motif [note 1]
- Fix tag correction routine for large mouse matrix
- Fix handling of empty lines in metadata file

Enhancements
- More economic handling of database connections (includes time-outs)
- Remove unused (and unsafe) authentication options
- Add alternative CDR3 motifs to config
- Add script for repetitive testing of pipeline
- Further unification of log output

Notes
[1] Previous maximum length of CDR3 was 22 amino acids [aa],
otherwise the a assignment would fail if (and only if) an
alternative end-of-CDR3 motif was used by a sequence. This length
limit has now been extended (CDR3 plus J sequence 155 bp). Note
that IgBLAST currently (version 1.4.0) has a hard-coded maximum
V_end to J_start distance of 89 bp, which should constitute the
lower limit of the two.
