Hadrons v1.4

Summary

Many changes, no release for a long time. Some of these changes are breaking, often it is just a matter of modules being reorganised or renamed. Please ask for help in the associated thread if you do not see how to fix a pre-v1.4 application.

• Hadrons is now C++17
• Complete distillation and stochastic distillation module set (@felixerben, @nelsonlachini & @aportelli)
• Big clean-up of NPR modules (@fjosw & @felixerben)
• Batch deflation more suitable for GPU platform (@aportelli & @JPRichings)
• Rework and clean-up of multi-precision solvers and deflation (@rrhodgson)
• Exponential clover Wilson action (@fjosw)
• Naive scheduler (modules executed in order of creation) (@fjosw)
• Topological charge measurement (@fjosw)
• Grid GPU memory manager monitoring (@rrhodgson)
• Relativistic heavy-quark operator insertion (@ale-barone, @RChrHill & Matthew Black)
• Module to bundle contraction results in HDF5 files (@RChrHill)
• Rewrite of QED field generation (@aportelli)

Please complain if I forgot something in the list above 🙂
