Fix scaffold mapping and add comprehensive tests

Key fixes:
- Changed default -j to 0 (no scaffolding) and -d to 0 (no rescue)
- Fixed rescue logic to only run when -d > 0
- Fixed scaffold status marking (anchors are always "scaffold", not "rescued")
- Scaffold members now correctly marked with ChainStatus::Scaffold

Testing results with -j 10k on yeast data:
- Reduces inter-chromosomal mappings by 92% (2518 -> 204)
- Maintains 97% coverage (only 3% drop from 100%)
- Effectively filters transposon-like scattered alignments
- Preserves important syntenic blocks

Added:
- Comprehensive scaffold mapping test suite
- paf_stats.py for comparing PAF filtering effects
- Tests for syntenic blocks, transposon filtering, rescue distance

The scaffold implementation now correctly:
1. Merges nearby mappings within scaffold-jump distance
2. Filters chains by minimum scaffold-mass
3. Only rescues mappings when -d > 0
4. Properly marks scaffold vs rescued mappings
