* this move should give us better ability to control the flow of the program wrt parts that should be run outside the `go-core` procedure (e.g. the `exit-condition` reporter) * what was previously the `go` procedure is now named `go-core` and called by the new `go` procedure; the interface buttons and the default BehaviorSpace experiment have been adjusted accordingly * the `exit-condition` reporter is now directly evaluated in the `go` procedure and saved in a global variable (`g-exit-condition?`) in case the go procedure is called with the argument `true` (which is what the go-stop button does) * the go-stop button can now be interrupted the same way as the go button
* `fast-sharing` has been renamed to `fast-sharing?` to reflect its boolean nature. * `fast-sharing` is now determined with-local-randomness in the `go` procedure and handed over to `go-core` as an argument. This avoids distorting the rng when evaluating this reporter.
* Currently we don't know how much time researchers spend on each theory apart from when they are all converged on one theory * In ArgABM we use research time as basis for one of our diversity measures. To allow the same measurement in SocNet we introduce two new globals: `g-research-time` and `g-myscientists` and a new procedure `compute-popularity` which records how much scientists are on each theory during the run * The popularity plot in the interface utilizes the new global `g-myscientists` instead of computing the distribution itself every time. This reduces computational load (marginally)
* Our runs are supposed to end at the time when scientists finally converge, even though they might practically last longer. A snapshot of the research-time the scientists spent investigating each theory must therefore be stored at the point when researchers converge. * This snapshot of research-time is stored via the convergence-reporters together with- and in the same way as- other variables which are recorded at the point of convergence * The default BehaviorSpace experiment then uses this reporter to record the research time for each theory * Documentation for the two new globals has been added

This PR implements the tracking of research time similar to what we call in ArgABM
research-time-monist. This allows us to see how much time scientists spent researching each theory over the course of a run. To accomplish this it adds a new reporter which records at the time scientists converge for the final time how much time they have spent on each theory during the run.This PR supersedes #15
