gnomad and esp AF deprecated in VEP v107

I experienced this as well for --esp_af. I don't believe --af_gnomad is deprecated but vep 107 failed to recognize the --af_esp flag and threw an error.

I made a small change as a workaround in #328 : https://github.com/mskcc/vcf2maf/pull/328/files

(I now see that someone already filed a PR with the same change in #324).

For the record, this is the error message I see:
