Results and Control updates for testing and stepwise.

[kbonney]

Summary

• Extended functionality of the results object by adding the ability to perform operations such as addition between two results objects.
• Added _shift method to Control base class and implemented on some sub classes- "Shift any SimTimeConditions within larger condition rules by value seconds (backward)."
• set_initial_conditions() method added to water network model class which "Sets the initial conditions of the network based on prior simulation results." This method utilized the _shift method defined above.
• Updates the link_status conversions performed during inp file reading to reflect conditions more accurately.

Tests and documentation

Updates to result object are used to restructure test_multiple_simuluations.py, which has been split into the following files:

• test_stop_start_sim.py: tests the use of set_initial_conditions to perform a simulation in multiple steps. (EpanetSim and WNTRSim).
• test_pickle_reset: tests that results are consistent when pickling a water network and using reset_initial_conditions
• test_reset_initial_values: tests that reset_initial_values gives approximately the same results before and after its use.

Additionally, a test for the new results object was added in test_results.py

TODO:

• Check reset_initial_values function to make sure it is working properly and add a test.
• Make sure WNTR resets after running sim so that it is aligned with EPANET.

Pull out reset/set initial conditions tests to separate test file
