Fixes for paralell writing. Writing is sped up significantly.

Test for writing speed

• Write 1000 steps with 1, 2, 4 and 8 threads. Timing is printed to stdout.

  ./tests/paralellization/test_steps/run.sh out_directory
  

• Write single big array (20'000x20'000) with 1, 2, 4 and 8 threads. Timing is printed to stdout.

  ./tests/paralellization/test_big_array/run.sh out_directory
  

Added functionality for userdata. To show the content of it, display the object sim.userdata.

Simple way to store non field data

• Scalar, string, etc will are stored as attributes: sim.userdata['some_name'] = value
• Arrays are stored as datasets: sim.userdata['array_name'] = arr

Access is natural: sim.userdata['some_name'] -> returns the stored value

Introduced globally unique identifiers for each database. They are stored as a file in the database directory.

Introduced globally unique identifiers for each database. They are stored as a file in the database directory. This allows to safely link different simulations together, e.g. meshes from a mesh database that are used in many places. Also, it allows to access any database from any path without remembering where it is stored. To do so, an index is maintained at ~.config/bamboost which contains all previously accessed databases.

Also introduced nice reprs for a database and for a simulation inside jupyter notebooks 😄

In addition, some internal things were optimized (don't remember what exactly). Hopefully, nothing was broken. Testing is still to do.
