makeTxDbFromBiomart should check for zero exon genes #5

Since genes, transcripts and exons are fetched independently in makeTxDbFromBiomart, there should be a check for zero exon genes. This could happen when BioMart queries silently (no error) skip exons. Here's a example BioMart query that skips exons.
