NucleicAcidProcessing Schemas.

New Experimental Schema:

+ Experimental releases of new single-cell associated schemas.
+ Experimental releases of germline reference and genotype schemas.
+ Experimental release of data aggregation schemas, including collections of repertoires
and JSON/YAML files bundling multiple AIRR Data Model objects.

Major R and Python Library Changes:

+ Added support for generalized AIRR Data Model files and objects that bundle
multiple data classes.
