Added qtask_ordered, qtask_unordered and index_fasta examples.

The qtask programs demonstrate of use ordered and unordered result
processing from a thread pool.

The index_fasta and read_fast_index tools demonstrate the fasta
indexing capabilities.

Improved the Makefile and tidied up the indentation and code example
layout / structure in DEMO.md

Also several minor wording and spelling fixes.
