Io selection changes

Current status of the i/o selection changes. Related to #651 (closed).

Adds the ability to add a file select_output.yml where you can specify different output selection properties per snapshot, and the ability to then specify which snapshots should have which choice of SelectOutput in output_list.txt.

I also changed the name of outputlist.{c,h} to output_list.{c,h} to be consistent with the rest of SWIFT's naming scheme.

TODO:

• Extend ability from single_io.c to other I/O schemes
• Narrative documentation
• Fix the SelectOutput checking function to check whether this is valid metadata
• Fix the SelectOutput writer to use the new string "on" v.s. "off", instead of 0 and 1
• Resolve merge conflicts.

Closes #651 (closed), #670 (closed), #671 (closed)
