Get ideogram w/o cytoband for certain genome

1	getIdeogram(genome, subchr, cytobands=TRUE)

`genome`	Single specie names, which must be one of the result from `ucscGenomes()$db`. If missing, will invoke a menu for users to choose from.
`subchr`	A character vector used to subset the result.
`cytobands`	If TRUE, return ideogram with gieStain and name column. If FALSE, simply return the genome information for each chromosome.

This function require a network connection, it will parse the data on the fly, function is a wrapper of some functionality from rtracklayer package to get certain table like cytoBand, a full table schema could be found http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables in UCSC genome browser.This is useful for visualization of the whole genome or single chromosome, you can see some examples in ggbio package.

A GRanges object.
