adding function to set test outdir as an environemnt variable - so you can change the default location, which is hard-coded

making multi-year mode work

results_by_site_series
pairings_by_site_series
pairings_by_site_series_all
results_by_site_series

to use less memory

extracting functions to allow the ews job dir and the config dict to be created without needing to run the pipeline - allows epi fitting to retrieve these values if the peipeline has already run

adding new json config param 'NAMEFileDateRegexp', which allows the epi Loader to work with daily production and epi - fit NAME data
restoring accidentally deleted reference to the config dict used by processor_base - allowing access of the config after a run by epi fit
swapping the epi fit gitlab-ci task to use the new fit_lb584

removing redundant clause

making the running of epi plotting dependant on whether config had been provided. Modifying tests to stop using epi outputs which are no longer included

adding ability to set additional values to the run config from the command line args (if not already present in the config json)
modifying the epi processor to look for CalculationSpanDays in both the config json and the command line args, as preparation for use with the Epi fitting, which will pass calcspan as an arg
