Change to single argument, folder with CSVs #49

Currently, two arguments are given, the path to the current format data and previous format data CSVs. The folder containing the current format data is then calculated to have a place to save the script output.

We could simplify to one argument, a folder which contains both CSVs and that would be used to save script output. However, since the CSVs include the date of the data, and are undistinguishable except for the date, the script would need to calculate which one is the current and which one is the previous based on which is the earlier year. Do not assume that the current one is the current year, since the scheduled analysis is done at the end of a calendar year and therefore can be finished the following January.

Only had a slight preference for this, so it may not be necessary.
