Until now, this script would always only work with a file-lock. But in some
scenarios, we might want to download in parallel. For example when the
system has multiple ports to the internet.
With this commit, we have added this feature: when the lockfile name is
`nolock', it won't lock and will download in parallel.

Until now, the `download-multi-try' script assumed GNU Bash features (when
comparing the number of attempts at downloading), but it didn't explicitly
ask the operating system to be run with Bash. As a result, when weaker
shells were used (like the default Debian minimalist `dash' shell), the `>'
("larger than" operator in a math context) is interpreted a redirection and
two extra files are created: `1' and `maxcount'!
With this commit, we now start this script with `/bin/bash'. Ofcourse, this
will assume that the host has GNU Bash installed, but we are also making
this assumption in the configure script. So atleast for now, Bash (any
version) is a critical dependency of this template anyway.

Until now, the software building and analysis steps of the pipeline were
intertwined. However, these steps (of how to build a software, and how to
use it) are logically completely independent.
Therefore with this commit, the pipeline now has a new architecture
(particularly in the `reproduce' directory) to emphasize this distinction:
The `reproduce' directory now has the two `software' and `analysis'
subdirectories and the respective parts of the previous architecture have
been broken up between these two based on their function. There is also no
more `src' directory. The `config' directory for software and analysis is
now mixed with the language-specific directories.
Also, some of the software versions were also updated after some checks
with their webpages.
This new architecture will allow much more focused work on each part of the
pipeline (to install the software and to run them for an analysis).
