samtools depth does not output positions with zero coverage

[mfoll]

This means that the estimated coverage can be biased, as the zeros are not counted when calculating the mean/median coverage? samtools depth now offers an option (-a) to resolve this so it should be straightforward:
samtools/samtools#374
