When we need to quote the new-line character we end the line with a
backslash (`\'). Until now, our convention has been to put all such
backslashes under each other to help in visual inspection.
But this causes a lot of confusion in version control: if only one line's
length is larger, the whole block will be marked as changed and thus makes
it hard to visually see the actual change. It also makes debuging the code
(adding some temporary lines) hard.
With this commit, I went through all the files and tried to fix all such
cases so only a single white space character is between the last command
character and the backslash. Where there was an empty line (ending with a
backslash, to help in visually separating the code into blocks), I put the
backslash right under the previous line's.
This completes task #15259.

Even though the Coreutils configure script says that it adds `rpath' to its
executables, its executables don't have it. As a result, it goes to use the
host operating system libraries, causing failures when they don't match
with the template.
Unfortunately after some tests with the configure script, I couldn't find
any way to include `rpath'! Even though `-rpath-link' is present in all
linking commands during Coreutils' build, the installed files still don't
have it!
So I was forced to use PatchELF. However, one problem is that Coreutils
installs many programs, not just one like Bash or AWK.
As a brute-force solution, with this commit, we are running PatchELF on all
the installed programs. It won't hurt those that already have it, but it
will fix all those that don't.
With this commit, I am also making the following non-related small changes:
- In `build-rules.mk', the `&&' characters were placed at the start of the
line for better readability.
- Bash, Readline and NCURSES are now built in parallel on systems that
support it (during `basic.mk').

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).
