[Biopython] two tracks on same level when using GenomeDiagram

[Peter Cock]

Yes, you would do this with a single track consisting of the
first contig, a spacer region, and then the second contig.
A large white (non-transparent) box feature for the spacer
might be enough for the draft figure, but as Leighton says,
you may want to tweak this in a PDF editor to finish.

There's an example of that here (look at the top track),
but sadly I'm not sure right away where the code for that
is...

The Proux_et_al_2002_Figure_6.py example in the
Tutorial is close, introduced originally here:
