Build shared library that exposes Raven to Python #16

Addressing a Problem?

I want to know the Raven version without having to execute the model and parse the output.

This implies:

set the Raven version as a global variable;
create a shared library exposing the version

While this is fairly trivial, it opens the door to expose more complex functionalities to Python, ie the BMI interface.

Potential Solution

Create a new file libraven.cpp that defines a PYBIND11_MODULE mapping c++ objects to their Python equivalent.
