Provide TableCollection.dump( ) method

See original GitHub issue

Currently to write out a table collection, you have to make it into a tree sequence first, which then just calls table_collection_dump() under the hood. Unless there’s a good reason not, it’d be convenient sometimes to dump the table collection directly.

I’ve had a look at this, and it’s trickier than you might imagine given the way the lifetimes of tables within a table collection are handled in Python at the moment. I think this will have to be resolved first with proper read-only access to tables that are owned by a tree sequence.

Also, a method to load them. Currently, if you have a set of tables that are illegal - for instance, because they lack a Population table - there’s no easy way in python to load the tables, add the missing stuff, and then make a tree sequence out of them. I would have called this msprime.load_tables, but this is already taken.
