Release notes:

Features

• comparesketch: added --auto to size the Bloom filter from an ntCard cardinality estimate of the reference set, fixing the load factor (bits per distinct k-mer) so the false-positive rate is the design value regardless of genome size.
• comparesketch: added --auto-gsize to size the Bloom filter from the largest input genome (estimateMaxGenomeSize), removing the need to set --gsize manually.
• comparesketch: added --fpr=F to set bits-per-element for a target Bloom-filter false-positive rate (e.g. --fpr 0.001 selects 29 bits/element).
• The comparesketch false-positive rate can now be controlled precisely; the default (--gsize-based sizing) behavior is unchanged.
