Issue: the default behavior of maxATAC functions is to use hg38 genome files for all activities regardless of genome file specification. For example, maxatac prepare will use the hg38 chrom.sizes and blacklist files even if mm10 chrom.sizes and blacklist files are specified by the user.

Solution: added a new argument ("genome") for the maxATAC average, normalize, predict, benchmark, and prepare functions in parser.py, which defaults to specifying the hg38 genome. This will allow users to specify other genomes when using maxATAC. I successfully tested the argument for all of the above functions by specifying --genome mm10 in my function call.

Added a new argument ("genome") for the maxATAC average, normalize, predict, benchmark, and prepare functions. This allows users to specify other genomes for e.g., preparation of mm10 ATAC-seq bigWig files and mm10 predictions. 

Without this argument, the default behavior of the above functions is to use hg38 genome files for all activities, even when genome files from other builds are specified.
