Merlin++

Description

Merlin++ is an accelerator simulation program that tracks beams through
components of a ring or beamline. Merlin++ is written in C++, and unlike MAD and most other packages, it is actually a library of C++ routines. The user writes their own program and compiles it against the MERLIN class definitions and  function libraries.

DataTable: Introduction of new data structure and IO for TFS files. A flexible structure for columned data. Can be used to simplify many classes. ParticleBunch: New Constructor, to replace ParticleBunchConstructor class. Creation of common bunch types is now in the ParticleBunch class. Distribution types are factored out into ParticleDistributionGenerator. Aperture: Refactoring, use of DataTable. Aperture hierarchy is simplified. New ApertureConfiguration class using factory pattern and DataTable. MADInterface: Refactoring, use of DataTable. New MADInterface class using factory pattern and DataTable. Random Numbers: Switch to C++11 standard library RNG. Removed old RNG. LatticeFunctions and LinearAlgebra: Better handling of longitudinally unstable lattices. LatticeFunctions can fall back to 4-dims when full 6-dim is unstable. SetForceLongitudinalStability option to replace ScaleBendPathLength. Documentation: Large increase in coverage of doxygen docs. Tutorials: Add tutorials. Code formatting updates. Now using uncustify for formatting, eclipse_formatting_style.xml for Eclipse. Clean-ups, bug fixes, warning fixes, memory leak fixes.
