Added `nigelObj` superclass

nigelObj superclass

• Moved most of the methods into nigelObj superclass in order to try avoid issues where things like updateParams were updated at a single hierarchical level and then the bug persists at other levels.

• Tried to really pare down on redundant or deprecated property names, and implemented a lot of Dependent properties that compute properties that are derived from other parsed properties.

• Tried to simplify the naming conventions:

  • .Output ALWAYS refers to the folder that is at the nigelObj level (e.g. for a Tank, the folder that has .nigelTank in it).
  • .SaveLoc ALWAYS refers to the folder that contains the nigelObj parsed folder hierarchy (e.g. for Tank, the folder that has the _Tank.mat and _Pars.mat files in it).
  • .Input Should refer to the same as Output, but since inputs are files, then:
  • Block: Refers to .RecFile property
  • Animal: Refers to .RecDir property
  • Tank: Refers to .RecDir property

• All properties that are used to reference file path info (.Output; .Input; .SaveLoc; .File (the _Block.mat file for example); .IDFile (the .nigelBlock file for example); .getParamsFilename (_Pars.mat file) now have the beginning of the filename "toggled" when OnRemote property is set.

  • There are two parameter structs in nigeLab.Defaults.Queue that reference the corresponding paths on Local vs Remote machines. It just does a simple string-replace.
  • Because Matlab always parses filenames with / (forward-slash), all filenames are returned with / by convention. Referencing .Output for example already does the .getUNCPath bit as well.

• Parameters are saved in *.mat file in a struct where fields correspond to .User property.

  • Within a .User struct name, there are the standard .Pars fields (e.g. MM.Block or MM.Raw etc.).
  • updateParams does checks to either reload params from the +defaults file, or if they need to be merged with or loaded from the corresponding .User parameters file.

NOTE: If you are having some bugs with old files (particularly on DashBoard), then run the updateParams('reset'); at Tank level. That forces everything to be re-loaded from the +defaults files. It may also be useful to run the nigeLab.Tank/resetTreeManual() method once at the start.

• Added matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay and matlab.mixin.SetGet classes to nigelObj
  • nigeLab.Tank, nigeLab.Animal, and nigeLab.Block now inherit from nigeLab.nigelObj
  • Try calling tankObj to the command window by itself. I added some updates to the default printed display that hopefully make it easier to navigate to files, call the DashBoard, and see the relevant details about a given object.

I would definitely check in the MultiAnimals stuff, there are references to updatePaths where I'm not 100% sure that the naming convention is correct regarding SaveLoc.

This has been merged and closed to keep current with the next big feature pull request.

Also I know it probably seems ridiculous that it is 163 files that were changed, but in this case it is more or less correct. That's why I wanted to merge this before it gets too far behind since that could become problematic quickly.
