Title: Better Bio-Formats command line tools

This branch improves the command line tool scripts to fix several bugs, restructures the code to reduce boilerplate, and adds a master configuration file so that it is easier for users to understand and configure the tools:
* User configuration takes place in config.sh/config.bat.
* The proxy configuration formerly specific to xmlvalid is now respected by all tools.
* The update check can be easily disabled by setting the NO_UPDATE_CHECK flag.
* The LOCI_DEVEL flag has been renamed to SCIFIO_DEVEL and clarified in the documentation.
* The deprecated bfview command now works properly again in all cases.
* It is much easier to override the Java memory configuration by editing JFLAGS in the config.
