install_marx add symlink #471

JCM:

If we put a soft link in $ASCDS_INSTALL/marx -> marx-5.5.1, then I could have an alias 

alias setmarx='source ${ASCDS_INSTALL}/marx/setup_marx.csh'

that wouldn't need to be changed ever (i.e. when the marx version changes).

KJG: need to support updates (so del and re-link if new version is installed).

If we were a bit-more "FHS" adjacent we might want to put it in share/ or some other location, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

We could also install into ots/ (and then the setup script wouldn't need to set PATH). But that requires a single version (which isn't really a big deal, IMO).
