fix a couple of problems that Max found in bigBed handling.  One is spaces were causing problem in custom track bigBed support (not cloning memory which was being chopped by spaces), and the second problem was that bigBedIntervalQuery was adding one character at a time to a dyString that ended up growing to megabyte, which was very slow and timed out in hgc
