Extend Array functionality to maps

See original GitHub issue

Suggested by @vdauwera regarding read_tsv() import functionality:

When you have a TSV with a header, it would be great if you could set a parameter to header=true, in order to have WDL ignore the first line.

Even better, if the read_tsv function could use the header fields to read the content into a map instead of an array. So you could say sample[inputBam] instead of having to take sample[1], which is more susceptible to errors.

@pgrosu This would be a WDL construct, we’re not proposing we literally write our own parsers at the scala level 😃

@vdauwera to be fair “crud” is on the higher end of my description spectrum.

There’s loads of scenarios where this would be useful; iirc the case I was working on when I made this request was that I had a FOFN that contained a list of samples with bam and index filepaths, and I wanted to load that in as input to a task.
