Consider translation exceptions while identifying internal stops

Theron James requested to merge transl_except into dev

We only care about translation exceptions that recode stop codons (i.e. selenocysteine amino acid). In our case, the only valid transl_except qualifier is one that specifically recodes stop codons. If a valid transl_except qualifier exists in a feature, replace the misinterpreted stop codon with the amino acid symbol 'U' indicating the presence of a selenocysteine.
