Create Nanny Script

[beauremus]

The Nanny script is responsible for calling the DAQ script with certain parameters per the L-CAPE project. This script allows concerns to be separated. Instead of dpmData.py being a do all script, it will be generic and the Nanny script can pass arguments to the DAQ script to make it specifically useful for L-CAPE. The idea is that dpmData.py could be useful for other projects in the future. When that day comes we should move it out into its own project. The Nanny script should be responsible for generating the device requests list and naming the output files. It can be responsible for coordinating runs of the DAQ script also, although the current plan is to use a CronJob.

I forgot to mention that the agreed output naming convention loosely follows the IS0 8601 standard and is of the form 20210101T130000PT10M-1_0_0.h5 where 20210101 is the YYYYMMDD date separated from time with a T where 130000 represents,1 PM and P indicates a period of duration in this case T10M for 10 minutes. The hyphen separates the time, date, and duration from the device request list version 1_0_0 that uses the semantic versioning standard to represent v1.0.0.
