C Instrumentation Framework

The major enhancement for CIF 1.2 is that the main CIF source file was rewritten in C++. The new version is more abstract and it is easier to maintain and develop it further. Using C++ allows to avoid a lot of potential memory errors that we encountered and fixed earlier. Besides, the execution time was reduced by using another way of launching subprocesses. The latter made redundant escaping double quotes in command-line options passed to CIF.

We would like to thank Ilya Shchepetkov for this awesome job!
