Methylation beta-analysis wizard

[Nicklas Nordborg]

Implement a wizard that calculate beta-values for methylation bioassays.

See ticket #1418 for information about importing information about the methylation processing and items. Since it is likely that we may do more of this type of analysis in the future it was decided that the actual analysis that create beta-values should be implemented as a wizard. The wizard should assume that DNA aliquots, BeadChip information and Methylation items have been imported as outlined in #1418.

The wizard will then start jobs on the new (container-based) cluster for running the Minfi pipeline that create beta-values, some PDF plots and other statistics for each sample.

Added a new section on the index page for "Other analysis" with a single subsection "Methylation".

Added an item list "Methylation beta-analysis" for Methylation derived bioassays that should be analyzed with the beta pipeline.

Added a wizard for selecting Methylation items for beta-analysis. The analysis is not yet implemented.

Added a job creator implementation. It should be able to register and submit jobs to the cluster, but there is no script yet so the jobs will always fail.

Added a simple script that so far only copy the IDAT files to the correct location in the project-archive directory.

Added a lot of annotations for storing the qc values.

Started with the confirmation wizard. It displays some information from the analysis and options for re-analyze failed jobs or confirm. Registration of the results is not yet implemented.

Fixed documentation of container definition file.

Since the run time for a job is ~1-2 minutes, we can decrease the interval between starting jobs from 30 to 5 seconds.
