Title: WIP: Wrapper for MeshFix

This PR wraps the program MeshFix by Marco Attene, Mirko Windhoff, Axel Thielscher.

Relevant Paper: http://www.ima.ge.cnr.it/ima/personal/attene/PersonalPage/pdf/TVC2010_preprint.pdf
Sourceforge page: http://jmeshlib.sourceforge.net
Ubuntu installation instructions: http://simnibs.de/installation/meshfixandgetfem

This is the first step in turning the set of shell scripts from the SimNibs package into Nipype pelines.

From their website:

SimNIBS is a software for the Simulation of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation. It allows for realistic calculations of the electric field induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Basic support for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is currently tested and will be added within the next few months.

Only tested the smoothing for now and it works perfectly (and it is also far faster than Freesurfer's mris_smooth)
