Added python-based deploy scripts

Added python-based deploy script that streamlines the deploy procedure somewhat. I left the cmake-based deploy in place for now.

Can you show how it would normally be used?

Could we use this in a simplified install script? It could prompt the user for permission to append things to their bashrc? This would make life a little easier.

Normal usage

This is the usage information from the deploy script:

usage: deploy.py [-h] [-v VERSION] [-f] [-b BIND_PATHS] [-m MODULE_PATH]
                 prefix

positional arguments:
  prefix                Install prefix. This is where the container will be
                        deployed.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v VERSION, --version VERSION
                        (opt.) project version. Default: current git
                        branch/tag.
  -f, --force           Force-overwrite already downloaded container
  -b BIND_PATHS, --bind-path BIND_PATHS
                        (opt.) extra bind paths for singularity.
  -m MODULE_PATH, --module-path MODULE_PATH
                        (opt.) Root module path where you want to install a
                        modulefile. D: <prefix>/../../etc/modulefiles

A standard way to deploy the current git version to $HOME/local/opt would be:

./deploy.py $HOME/local/opt/eic_container_master

In this case it will be deployed in the prefix, and the module file will be installed in $HOME/local/etc/modulefiles

If we want to deploy a specific version, say 1.0.4, and we also want to add two extra bind paths (e.g. /lcrc and /scratch) to the singularity launchers

./deploy.py -v1.0.4 -b /lcrc -b /scratch $HOME/local/opt/eic_container_1.0.4 

Other install tasks

We could absolutely suggest some additions to basic. What would you add to the bashrc? Ensure modules are loaded and a "module use/module load" or something more sophisticated?
