Sanity checks added, local settings now in LOCAL.mk.in

The choice of whether or not to make a PDF is now also a local system
issue, not a general pipeline issue. So it has been put in the new
`LOCAL.mk.in' file which replaces the old `DIRECTORIES.mk.in'. All local
settings (things that when changed should not be version-controlled) should
be defined in this file.

A sanity check was added to find if `./configure' has been run before
`make' or not (using the `LOCAL.mk' file which is an output of the
configuration step). If `LOCAL.mk' doesn't exist, an error will be printed
informing the user that `./configure' needs to be run first.

The configure script also provides more clear and hopefully better
information on its purpose and what must be done.

Since `make clean', it is executed even when `./configure' hasn't been run,
it will only delete the build directory and its contents when local
configuration has been done.

A `distclean' target was also added which will first "clean" the pipeline,
then delete the `LOCAL.mk.in' file.

To allow rules like `make' to be run even if `BDIR' isn't defined
(`./configure' hasn't been run yet), a fake `BDIR' is defined in such
cases.

-# Top-level user specific directories. Note the points below:
-#
-# - The VALUES to these directories are initially JUST PLACE-HOLDERS!
-#   Please correct them based on your system.
-#
-# - The directories don't need to necessarily exist. If they do not exist,
-#   they will be created and the necessary data will be downloaded into
-#   them. Ofcourse provided that you have write permissions and an internet
-#   connection.
-#
-# - Do not use the tilde expansion `~' or variables for your home
-#   directory. Please use the full address, for example
-#   `/home/your-user-name'.
-#
-# - An ending forward-slash `/' is NOT necessary. In the pipeline, all
-#   these variables will be followed by a `/', so if you put a `/' at the
-#   end of the value here, you will see a `//' in the printed outputs
-#   during the processing. This has no technical problem, but can make
-#   reading the outputs harder and is thus not recommended.

-# Input data directories
-# ----------------------
-#
-# This is where the input data (with the same file-name standard as the
-# online webpage) are stored. If this directory doesn't exist, or it
-# doesn't contain the files (with the correct file-name formats), it will
-# be created and the images will be downloaded. See
-# `reproduce/config/pipeline/web.mk', for the URLs containing the expected
-# inputs for each survey.

-# Build directory
-# ---------------
-#
-# This is where the intermediate outputs of each step are kept.
-#
-# Why a separate build directory? So the source and configuration files for
-# this reproduction pipeline do not get crowded by all the
-# intermediate/derivative files. Also to make synchronization and backups
-# more easy: the contents of the build directory do not need to be backed
-# up since they can be reproduced and they can be large.
