In piecemeal: Wrangle Large Simulation Studies

piecemeal 0.2.0

• Time-consuming interactive commands now show progress bars via {cli}.

• Calling Piecemeal$status() also includes the ETA, since there is no additional cost.

• New method, Piecemeal$consolidate(), to consolidate successful run results into an SQLite database, which other methods can access transparently. Among other things, it helps prevent inode exhaustion and significantly speeds up Piecemeal$status() and Piecemeal$eta(). Consolidation can take place while the simulation is running.

• Default cluster settings now allow for a longer timeout.

• A file descriptor leak in {filelock} has been mitigated.

• Documentation improvements.
