If there are no variants there is no need to run the annotation or filtering steps so we could simply bypass that and copy the raw file to the expected places. If we do that, the rest of the code should probably work as normal.

References #1210: Variant calling fails if no variants are found

Added a test to the script after VarDict that checks the number of variants. If there are no variants in the VCF, the rest of the pipeline is skipped and the raw file is simply copied to the expected places.

References #1210: Variant calling fails if no variants are found

Updated the manual confirmation wizard so that 0 variants is not considered an error condition.
