Support windows in stats API that do not span whole genome

Currently the stats API requires that we cover the entire genome with windows, which is restrictive. In particular, it prevents us from parallelising along the genome in a simple way.

The main roadblock for this is the low-level implementation of the stats, which use incremental algorithms that don't support starting and stopping easily.

This would be an excellent application for the approach discussed in #2778

Note this will have to take into account the issue discussed in #2792, where we need to think about the consequences of edges not being inserted into the tree in time-sorted order when we seek to a given position. Almost certainly the right thing to do for the stats API will be to do a postorder traversal (but this requires that we keep the full quintuply linked tree)
