Auryn 0.5

The main improvements with Auryn v0.5 are:

• SpikingGroups and Connections are now serializeable and as a consequence the network state can be saved to a single file per rank.
• SimpleMatrix has been replaced by ComplexMatrix which creates the basis for the implementation of connection models with multiple internal synaptic states.
• Basis for Monitors writing to binary files for increased performance was created (e.g. BinarySpikeMonitor).
• Auryn compiles to a statically linkable library per default now, which facilitates to decouple simulation code from simulator code.
• A simplified STDPConnection was added along with a tutorial of how to implement own new plasticity and synapse models.

All this comes along with several bug-fixes and smaller improvements. Enjoy.
