Find the largest distance between two vectors of numbers Helper function for get_orfs

1	maxLocation(startSite, stopSite, longest = 1)

`startSite`	vector of start sites - i.e Met amino acid positions
`stopSite`	vector of stop sites - i.e Stop (*) amino acid positions
`longest`	which pair to return (1 = longest pair, 2= 2nd longest pair etc.)

sequential start site and end site with the greatest difference
