The last row of intensities in the LPF file should be 0 #83

After a light program is ran, the last light intensities read are what the device maintains indefinitely. When a program ends, it should turn all LEDs off. To do this, the last row of the intensities in the LPF file should all be 0.

When the LPF is written, the final time step sees all channel intensities changed to 0GS to turn off the device. This should work fine with all timesteps (that are whole divisors of the total time) because a final time step is always added to runs to accommodate this. But we should watch out for this potential problem anyway.

This should actually be an option that the user toggles.
