BLAT result parser (psl / pslx format).

## Important Notes

In BLAT results, the start position of a sequnece is numbered as 0. On the other hand, in many other homology search programs, the start position of a sequence is numbered as 1. To keep compatibility, the BLAT parser adds 1 to every position number.
