2021-01-02Supplement (containing appendices) optionally built separatelyMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+16
Until now, the build strategy of the paper was to have a single output PDF that either contains (1) the full paper with appendices in the same paper (2) only the main body of the paper with no appencies. But the editor in chief of CiSE recently recommended publishing the appendices as supplements that is a separate PDF (on its webpage). So with this commit, the project can make either (1) a single PDF (containing both the main body and the appendices) that will be published on arXiv and will be the default output (this is the same as before). (2) two PDFs: one that is only the main body of the paper and another that is only the appendices. Since the appendices will be printed as a PDF in any case now, the old '--no-appendix' option has been replaced by '--supplement'. Also, the internal shell/TeX variable 'noappendix' has been renamed to 'separatesupplement'.

As recommended by Lorena Barba (editor in chief of CiSE), we should prepare the appendices as a separate "Supplement" for the journal. But we also want them to be appendices within the paper when built for arXiv. As a first step, with this commit, each appendix has been put in a separate 'tex/src/appendix-*.tex' file and '\input' into the paper. We will then be able to conditionally include them in the PDF or not. Also, as recommended by Lorena, the general "necessity for reproducible research" appendix isn't included (possibly going into the webpage later).
