Adding tracker component library

Summary of changes

Added instructions for installing TrackerComponentLibrary to README.md
setup_path.m now makes sure TrackerComponentLibrary is on top of the path and alphabetical, this is needed because:
1. TrackerComponentLibrary expects its compiled mex files to be on the top of the path.
2. Matlab puts addons onto the path in some random order(at least on my mac).

Ptest Effects

No effects.

Testing

Follow the install instructions at the end of README.md, especially downloading TrackerComponentLibrary and opening it with matlab.

Unfortunately TrackerComponentLibrary doesn't come with any unit tests, but try

>> [a,b]=sqrtKalmanUpdate(1,1,0,1,1)

a =

    0.5000

b =

    0.7071

to check the install is ok.

I have only tested this on my macOS High Sierra laptop, so let me know if the installation works on your machine.

Install seemed to work fine on Windows. I ran install.m and MATLAB complained it couldn't find the MinGW compiler, so I installed the compiler via the MATLAB addon (this was important.) Then it worked out fine.

CompileCLibraries seems like it doesn't work on Linux, so I am not going to use any of the C++ only parts of the library, fortunately most functions are also in MATLAB.
