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.

It is this time of year again: TeXLive has transitioned to its 2020 release
and the year is imprinted into the installation directory of TeXLive. Until
now, we have had to manually change this year and it caused complications
and was very annoying.

With this commit, the explicit year has been removed from TeXLive's
installation and we now simply put a `maneage' instead of the year. I tried
this on another system and it worked nicely. Until the time that we can
fully install LaTeX packages from source tarballs, this is the best thing
we could do for now.

Minizip is a dependency of XLSX I/O and until now, I was just using the
most recent version I found (2.9.2), but XLSX I/O is written for the
Minizip 1.x series, not 2.x. Somehow it didn't cause a crash on my
computer!!! I think XLSX I/O's CMake is instructed to look into system
directories by default when it doesn't find the directories in the given
places. And because I had installed Minizip on my operating system, it
did't complain.

Upon trying the build on their systems, Yahya, Raul and Zahra reported a
failure in the build of XLSX I/O which was due the to the problem above (we
were installing the wrong version of Minizip!).

With this commit, this has been fixed by installing the 1.x series of
Minizip (whish is actually installed within zlib!).

This commit was original done by Mohammad Akhlaghi.

With this commit, CMake has been updated to its most recent version.
This upgrade has been done because in the installation of XLSX I/O on
macOS laptop, it crashes complaining about C compiler "not able to
compile a simple test program". After a fast search, I found it could be
possible to just use the most recent version of CMake to solve the
problem. But it didn't work. In any case, it is good to have the most
recent version of CMake included.

In the last update of Astropy to version 4.0 they removed some things
that the previous version of Astroquery needs.  As a consequence, it is
also necessary to update the Astroquery version to be a ble to run with
the Astropy 4.0. With this commit, the update of Astroquery to it most
recent version (0.4) has been done.

MissFITS is package for manipulating FITS files.
I added it as my first commit to the project for educational
purposes.

XLSX I/O is a very simple and fast program and library for reading and
writing `.xls' and `.xlsx' files (mainly used by Microsoft Excel) to CSV
files. It has two separate executables that can be called for an Excel file
and will output a CSV plain text file that can then be used within the
pipeline with more standard tools.

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.

GNU Make 4.3 was just announced, so I have updated it here is well. This
was important because until now the installable version was in alpha-mode
(4.2.90), now its a stable version.
