Until now the software configuration parameters were defined under the
`reproduce/software/config/installation/' directory. This was because the
configuration parameters of analysis software (for example Gnuastro's
configurations) were placed under there too. But this was terribly
confusing, because the run-time options of programs falls under the
"analysis" phase of the project.
With this commit, the Gnuastro configuration files have been moved under
the new `reproduce/analysis/config/gnuastro' directory and the software
configuration files are directly under `reproduce/software/config'. A clean
build was done with this change and it didn't crash, but it may cause
crashes in derived projects, so after merging with Maneage, please
re-configure your project to see if anything has been missed. Please let us
know if there is a problem.

Until now, the project would first ask for the basic directories, then it
would start testing the compiler. But that was problematic because the
build directory can come from a previous setting (with `./project configure
-e'). Also, it could confuse users to first ask for details, then suddently
tell them that you don't have a working C library! We also need to store
the CPATH variable in the `LOCAL.conf' because in some cases, the compiler
won't work without it.
With this commit, the compiler checking has been moved at the start of the
configure script. Instead of putting the test program in the build
directory, we now make a temporary hidden directory in the source directory
and delete that directory as soon as the tests are done.
In the process, I also noticed that the copyright year of the two hidden
files weren't updated and corrected them.

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.
