Fixed RotatedFunctionDecorator where dimension was always zero.
Merge pull request #37 from filinep/fixRotatedFunctionDecorator

Fixed RotatedFunctionDecorator where dimension was always zero.
Squashed commit for niching changes.

The niching available in cilib previously was not very scalable and potentially
contained errors. This new implementation by Filipe is more functional
and focuses on methods behaving like functions that always return the
newly created modified data.

In future, cilib will be moving to this structure as it allows for much
improved testing and simplifies the API completely. Additionally, the
planned removal of the XML simulator will further simplify our code
base.
