Until now, the copyright statement was left empty for the users of the
pipeline to fill. However, the files have already been created and have an
author (or contributing authors) before the user starts using the
pipeline. So the original authors of the files are added along with the
year. The user can add their own name to the existing files under the
"Contributing author" when they start and they will be the "Original
author" of the new files they create.
Several changes were also made to the TeX management:
- LaTeX is run within a `reproduce/build/tex/build' directory now. Not in
the top reproduction pipeline directory. This helps keep all the
auxiliary TeX files and directories in that directory and keep the top
reproduction pipeline directory clean. After the final PDF is built, a
copy is put in the top reproduction pipeline directory for easy viewing.
- The PGFPlots preamble was also made more useful, allowing the name of
the `.tex' file to also be the name of the final plot that is
produced. This is a GREAT feature, because without it, the TiKZ
externalization would be based on order of the plots within the
paper. But now, order is irrelevant and we can even delete the TiKZ
files within the processing workhorse-Makefiles so the plots are
definitly rebuilt on the next run.
- The paper is now in a two-column format to be more similar to published
papers.
A tip on debugging Make was added to `README.md'.

As described in the commens above `MINMAPSIZE' of `LOCAL.mk.in', the amount
of memory to map to HDD/SSD or keep in RAM is a local issue and not
relevant to the pipeline's results. So it is now defined in a
`gnuastro-local.conf' file.
To keep the Makefiles clean, this file is created by the `./configure'
script. To do this cleanly, the `./configure' script was also almost fully
re-written with better functionality now.

Until now, Gnuastro's `mmap' files were included in the `rm' commands of
`clean*' rules two times. But by setting `clean-mmap' as a dependency of
`clean', it is now only necessary to have them in the Makefile once. This
also makes the code much more cleaner.

Managing this symbolic link as a prerequisite that may or maynot be defined
just made the code too dirty. It is almost always needed, so it is now a
super-high-level prerequisite (first dependency of the `all' target, even
before the final PDF). In this way, we can be sure it is always built and
that nothing else depends on it.
If the user doesn't want it, they can simply remove it from the top
`Makefile'.

The choice of whether or not to make a PDF is now also a local system
issue, not a general pipeline issue. So it has been put in the new
`LOCAL.mk.in' file which replaces the old `DIRECTORIES.mk.in'. All local
settings (things that when changed should not be version-controlled) should
be defined in this file.
A sanity check was added to find if `./configure' has been run before
`make' or not (using the `LOCAL.mk' file which is an output of the
configuration step). If `LOCAL.mk' doesn't exist, an error will be printed
informing the user that `./configure' needs to be run first.
The configure script also provides more clear and hopefully better
information on its purpose and what must be done.
Since `make clean', it is executed even when `./configure' hasn't been run,
it will only delete the build directory and its contents when local
configuration has been done.
A `distclean' target was also added which will first "clean" the pipeline,
then delete the `LOCAL.mk.in' file.
To allow rules like `make' to be run even if `BDIR' isn't defined
(`./configure' hasn't been run yet), a fake `BDIR' is defined in such
cases.

Recently the filename keeping TeX macros for the versions was changed from
`versions.tex' to `initialization.tex' (since it also contained the build
directory). However, it was forgotten to correct the change of name in the
`.PHONY' targets, so it was not being rebuilt every time. This is corrected
now.

Let's start working on this pipeline independently with this first
commit. It is based on my previous experiences, but I had never made a
skeleton of a pipeline before, it was always within a working analysis.
But now that the pipeline has a separate repository for its self, we will
be able to work on it and use it as a base for future work and modify it to
make it even better. Hopefully in time (and with the help of others), it
will grow and become much more robust and useful.
