consolidator: Consolidates QC files
In INQC: Quality Control of Climatological Daily Time Series

This function is not intended to be called as a stand-alone function. It is automatically called each time a file ends its QC. It will write the quality control files. One file will be placed in a subfolder of the homefolder named QCConslidated. It will use the exact ECA&D format (date, value, QC flag). The QC flags include:

0: Passed QC; 1: ERROR; 2: ALMOST CERTAIN, ERROR; 3: OUTLIER, SUSPECT; 4: COLLECTIVELY SUSPECT; 9: Missing value.

A second file is placed in the subfolder QC and includes all date, value and a column for each QC test ran over this file. Values passing/not passing QC are labelled with 0/1. A third file summarizes the number of values falling on each category (0,1,2,3,4,9) and the number of values failing each test

1	consolidator(filename, x)

`filename`	ECA&D file name, expressed as VV_SOUIDXXXXXX.txt, where "VV" is the two-letters variable code, "SOUID" is literal, XXXXXX is the ECA&D SOUID code and ".txt" is literal
`x`	QCed series, formatted as date, value, QC flag

It does not return any value. Each time when called, it will create three files: Summary file, placed at ./QCSumamry/SummaryVV_SOUIDXXXXXX.txt; QC consolidated file, placed at ./QCConsolidated/VV_SOUIDXXXXXX.txt; Verbose QC file, placed at ./QC/qc_VV_SOUIDXXXXXX.txt.
