This is now done. It uses a new Relative class to describe what a given 
position is relative to.

I also made Bio::Map:MapI an AnnotableI and SimpleMap an implementor.

I think this pretty much brings an end to my changes to Bio::Map. Unless 
anyone thinks the changes lack sanity, I think the API of the new things 
should be somewhat stable.

I haven't yet touched the other kinds of Positions to update/remove 
them. Docs in general could probably do with an update/ improvement. I 
plan to do this 'soon'.
