Until now, the configuration Makefiles (in
`reproduce/software/config/installation' and `reproduce/analysis/config')
had a `.mk' suffix, similar to the workhorse Makefiles. Although they are
indeed Makefiles, but given their nature (to only keep configuration
parameters), it is confusing (especially to early users) for them to also
have a `.mk' (similar to the analysis or software building Makefiles).
To address this issue, with this commit, all the configuration Makefiles
(in those directories) are now given a `.conf' suffix. This is also assumed
for all the files that are loaded.
The configuration (software building) and running of the template have been
checked with this change from scratch, but please report any error that may
not have been noticed.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE AND WILL CAUSE CRASHES OR UNEXPECTED BEHAVIORS
FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE BRANCHED FROM THIS TEMPLATE. PLEASE CORRECT THE
SUFFIX OF ALL YOUR PROJECT'S CONFIGURATION MAKEFILES (IN THE DIRECTORIES
ABOVE), OTHERWISE THEY AREN'T AUTOMATICALLY LOADED ANYMORE.

Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright
statements.

Since ImageMagick can take long to build, we are now building it in
parallel. Also, the part where we replace an `_' with `\_' in the software
version at the end of the configure script was removed. It is more
clear/readable that the actual rule that includes such a name deals with
the underline (as is the case for `sip_tpv' which already dealt with it).
Finally, I noticed that the checks at the start of `top-prepare' were
missing new-lines. I had forgot that the Make single-shell variable isn't
activated in this stage yet.

A special directory is now defined in `initialize.mk' that can be used in
both the preparation and build phases. Also, the contents of prepared
results can now be conditionally read during `./project make'.

In many real-world scenarios, `./project make' can really benefit from
having some basic information about the data before being run. For example
when quering a server. If we know how many datasets were downloaded and
their general properties, it can greatly optmize the process when we are
designing the solution to be run in `./project make'.
Therefore with this commit, a new phase has been added to the template's
design: `./project prepare'. In the raw template this is empty, because the
simple analysis done in the template doesn't warrant it. But everything is
ready for projects using the template to add preparation phases prior to
the analysis.
