Import 'mutect' calls.

1	readMutect(file, columns, strip = FALSE)

`file`	Location of the mutect tsv files [character, required]
`columns`	Names of columns to import from the file [character vector, optional, default: missing]. If missing, all columns will be imported.
`strip`	Should additional columns be imported? [logical, default: FALSE]. If TRUE, return only the bare 'VRanges' object.

The 'readMutect' functions imports the mutational calls of a '*.tsv' file returned by the 'mutect' caller to a 'VRanges' object. For a description of the information of the columns, please refer to the mutect documentation.

A 'VRanges' object, with each row corresponding to one variant in the original file.
