Implement gap extension penalties in pairwise module #15

Description

@rodriados

The pairwise alignment heuristic should implement a different treatment to gaps which are extended. Biologically, it's much more possible the occurrence of less gaps but longer, than much more smaller gaps.

Thus, gap penalties should be smaller if an already existing gap is being extended, and higher when a new gap is being introduced into the alignment.
