[BioC] Getting edgeR normalized counts within the GLM approach

Hi,

I believe the pseudo counts are used internally for some of the 
dispersion estimation methods, but are not indented for other uses. The 
standard way to get normalized feature abundances from a DGEList is to 
use the cpm function.
