Track #34 (dbVar for human): Added new track type gvf with basichandlers in hgTracks and hgc.  dbVar's GVF attributes are recognized,
esp. var_type is used to color items, and items are sorted using
the Parent keyword so that parents appear immediately before their
children, and children are sorted by var_type.  Attributes are
displayed in hgc; need to do a bit better for the Start_range and
End_range (e.g. translate "." to "inner start unknown" etc.).
