Parameter file in snapshot

Merged Matthieu Schaller requested to merge parameter_file_in_snapshot into master

Sorry @pdraper.... one more for you...

This is an implementation of #140 (closed). The parameter file key-value pairs are written to the snapshots. Changes are:

  • Write the parameters to the snapshot.
  • Reduce the size of the parameter file structure by changing the maximal amount of lines it can contain.
  • Added an error message for when this limit is reached.
  • Change the type lock_type to swift_lock_type in lock.h

This last change is because lock_type is used in some MPI function prototype and our "#define" interferes with some of the includes if you are not careful about ordering. That solves the problem by naming the lock type in a unique way.

Apologies for the rather large changelog that this generates for 5 actual lines of useful code...
