LeftAlignAndTrimVariants doesn't work on MNPs
The documentation for LeftAlignAndTrimVariants
indicates that it only works for indels. It should be updated to work for MNPs as well.
This operation would simply remove any common leading bases from all alleles of a VariantContext
and update the start position by however many bases were removed. It would be implemented in LeftAlignAndTrimVariants.java:289
replacing the noop for non-indels.
