Explicitly handle UMIs which have multiple TCRs.

With the change in #50, UMIs with multiple TCRs (as defined by the threshold set) are detected correctly. As these are extremely unlikely to be true UMI collisions (p=1/1e7), we discard these reads. They are assumed to result from PCR/sequencing error or PCR chimaeras.

A later update will add a mechanism to detect the true TCR on the UMI to recover some of the lost reads.
