import these from a plugin.

## contigTables

Each side of a pairwise file as tables: `query` and `target`, each its
assembly name and its contigs in the order the file first names them, with
the length the file states (`null` where the adapter cannot tell, such as
an MCScan anchors file, which lists genes rather than contigs). A host lays
a whole-genome axis out of them, as the dotplot import does from an
assembly.

```js
// type signature
(pluginManager: PluginManager, { adapterConfig }: ContigTablesArgs) => Promise<{ query: { assemblyName: string; refName: string[]; length: (number | null)[]; }; target: { assemblyName: string; refName: string[]; length: (number | null)[]; }; }>
```
