Release v2.16.0

This release adds the long awaited ability to visualize "multi-way" synteny using a "series of pairwise" comparisons!

Setting up multi-way synteny views can be performed from the "import form" or via the URL params. We envision further enhancements to come to improve functionality and ease-of-use of these views also.
