Clarify how persistant variables work when value is entered in variables table. #74

Current in the configure experiment tab a variable can both have a value specified and be declared persistent. It is not clear from the docs whether the specified value or stored persistant value will take priority. The logic of this should be clarified. Suggest that if a value is entered in the table then this should take priority but the user should be warned the persistant value will be overwritten.

This behaviour has been modified in commit e7f2c5e912917c6116e709f8ef44f5b470875b65 such that if a value is specified for a persistent variable in the variables table, the table value will take precedence but the user will be warned when they run the experiment.
