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

Until now, to work on a project, it was necessary to `./configure' it and
build the software. Then we had to run `.local/bin/make' to run the project
and do the analysis every time. If the project was a shared project between
many users on a large server, it was necessary to call the `./for-group'
script.
This way of managing the project had a major problem: since the user
directly called the lower-level `./configure' or `.local/bin/make' it was
not possible to provide high-level control (for example limiting the
environment variables). This was especially noticed recently with a bug
that was related to environment variables (bug #56682).
With this commit, this problem is solved using a single script called
`project' in the top directory. To configure and build the project, users
can now run these commands:
$ ./project configure
$ ./project make
To work on the project with other users in a group these commands can be
used:
$ ./project configure --group=GROUPNAME
$ ./project make --group=GROUPNAME
The old options to both configure and make the project are still valid. Run
`./project --help' to see a list. For example:
$ ./project configure -e --host-cc
$ ./project make -j8
The old `configure' script has been moved to
`reproduce/software/bash/configure.sh' and is called by the new `./project'
script. The `./project' script now just manages the options, then passes
control to the `configure.sh' script. For the "make" step, it also reads
the options, then calls Make. So in the lower-level nothing has
changed. Only the `./project' script is now the single/direct user
interface of the project.
On a parallel note: as part of bug #56682, we also found out that on some
macOS systems, the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable has to be set
to blank. This is no problem because RPATH is automatically set in macOS
and the executables and libraries contain the absolute address of the
libraries they should link with. But having `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' can
conflict with some low-level system libraries and cause very hard to debug
linking errors (like that reported in the bug report).
This fixes bug #56682.

While reviewing Prasenjit's commits, I noticed that we had forgot to add
the citation for TIDES, also to make things clear, the program/library
build rules are now sorted alphabetically.
Finally, I noticed that after building the TiKZ PDF figures, it is crashing
(like on Prasenjit's computer). After looking around, I noticed its because
we were setting the of the `TEXINPUTS' environment variable to be the
installed TeX Live directory (which was ultimately redundant because by
default TeX will look into where it was installed). The important thing is
just that we remove any possible value the host system has, not to set new
directories.

Until now, the `tex/build' symbolic link was put in the clone/source tree
when the build-directory's `tex' directory was being built. Thanks to
Roberto Baena, we just found a bug because of this behavior: when a second
group member is trying to build the pipeline, since the build directory's
`tex' directory already exists, no `tex/build' will be put in their
clone/source directory. As a result, the PDF building will crash.
To fix this (and keep things organized), the two `tex/build' and `tex/tikz'
links (to the build directory) are now built in the configure step while it
is building all the top-level directories. They are no longer built within
the Makefiles.
Also, a comment was added on top of every directory built during the
configuration phase to be clear.
This fixes bug #56362.

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.

Until now, there were erros in the citation of Astrometry-net and Scamp
papers.
With this commit, we fix these problems. The Swarp bibtex has also been
modify to follow the stetic of the citation style we have right now in
the project.
We also added the `dependency-bib.tex' as a prerequisite of `paper.bbl'.

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).
