varFreqs: post-QA polish on new hostseq subtrack. refs #37882

Findings from the qa-track pass on the gnomAD-Canada HostSeq subtrack added
in 99764ad55bb:

- hostseq.html: fix non-ASCII byte in Alföldi (Alföldi), swap
hardcoded hg38 for $db in the hgdownload URL, extend the FILTER
enumeration to include InbreedingCoeff;RF (34,540 sites), add nhomalt
and grpmax to the Display Conventions details-page list, and add an
"Effective sample size per ancestry group" subsection warning that
AF_fin (~4 individuals) and AF_mid (~72) are too sparse to be reliable
population estimates. Collapsed a stray double blank line between refs.
- populations.tsv, hostseqHtToVcf.py: harmonize the "oth" group label to
"Remaining individuals" per the gnomAD README. The existing VCF header
still shows the old label; it picks up the new one on the next re-emit
(not worth re-running the 104 GB Hail table just for this).
- varFreqs.ra: hostseq priority 2 -> 33 to break the sort-order collision
with allofus (also at priority 2).
