Uncertain stop codon in protein descriptions (fs and ext)

Vermaat requested to merge no-stop into master

When a variant results in a frame shift or extension and we don't see a new stop codon in the RNA, the protein description should use the notation for an uncertain stop codon, e.g., p.(Gln730Profs*?) instead of p.(Gln730Profs*96) where 96 is just the last codon in our transcript [1].

To detect this, we now use to_stop=False in our .translate() calls, since that will explicitely return * characters for stop codons.

We also slightly fix the coloring of changes in the protein sequence where previously changed stop codon characters where not included.
