This doesn't do anything fancy at all. It will just go through the

of residue (ie. A or G or T or C for DNA) in all sequences in the
alignment. If the percentage of the most common residue type is
greater then the passed threshold, then we will add that residue type,
otherwise an ambiguous character will be added.
This could be made a lot fancier (ie. to take a substitution matrix
into account), but it just meant for a quick and dirty consensus.
Arguments:
- threshold - The threshold value that is required to add a particular
atom.
- ambiguous - The ambiguous character to be added when the threshold is
not reached.
- require_multiple - If set as True, this will require that more than
1 sequence be part of an alignment to put it in the consensus (ie.
not just 1 sequence and gaps).
