ggirelli/ggkaryo2: Overlay karyotype and data-track profiles in a ggplot-compatible manner

ggkaryo2 is fully based on ggplot. It allows to plot a simple karyotype, or a karyotype with one/multiple data-track profile(s). This can be useful when visualizing multiple informations, as it allows to easily identify the localization (e.g., genomic coordinate, location relative to centromere/telomeres, ...) of any region of interest based on a data-track profile. The karyotype is automatically built from a giemsa-staining bed file, and the data-track are added as additional bed files. ggkaryo2 supports simultaneously plotting, onto a karyotype, any number of data-tracks as profiles, and to highlight loci of interest. Being fully based on ggplot, the users can easily customize a ggkaryo2 plot and add their own custom layers to it.
