Bug fixes, docu fixes, EP version update

EnergyPlus co-simulation toolbox v1.2.2

see Release notes.md

EnergyPlus co-simulation toolbox v1.1

Structure of the main Simulink library was changed in order to work around the 63char. signal name length limit.

Added

• Bus objects now support signal names longer then 63 characters.
• Simulation and initialization is now considerably faster.
• Vector to Bus block. Make a bus out of a apprapriately sized vector.
• Browse buttons in the simulink block mask.

Changed

• mlep system object does not work internally with busses anymore. It imposed the 63char. limit and was slow anyway.
• Renamed the main simulink block from EnergyPlus SO to EnergyPlus Simulation.
• The working directory is by default the directory of the selected IDF file.
• IDF and EPW files are no longer required to be on the Matlab searchpath.

EnergyPlus co-simulation toolbox v1.0

Feature list:

• Parsing of the IDF file to determine co-simulation inputs/outputs.
• Automatic socket communication configuration (on localhost).
• Background start of the EnergyPlus process with output to the Matlab command line.
• System Object implementation usable in Matlab & Simulink.
• Bus input/output integration for easy Simulink model setup.
• A 'mlep Bus Creator' block to facilitate Simulink co-simulation input setup.
