nix that.

I woke up in the middle of the night to realize that this statement is not
true because of limitations SeqCanvas
puts on what can be added to a gene:  Exon, Poly_A_site, Promoter, UTR.... by
name, case sensitive.

So... the list of required FeatureTypes and their container status is:

    Gene (Y)
    Transcript (Y)
    Exon (N)
    Poly_A_site (N)
    Promoter (N)
    UTR (N)

I'll update the Genquire docs accordingly, but these should probably all
become part of the init_db script, or part of the schema file so that this
rule is transparent to the user when they first start.
