Title: Parallel hdf5

This pull request moves from serial to parallel libSplash I/O for data output and restart.
libSplash version 1.1 will be required (currently in [dev](https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/libSplash/tree/dev).

This has been tested on hypnos using the LaserWakefield example with the following configurations:
(1,2,1), (1,3,1) and (2,2,1) GPUs with slide.
(1,2,1) GPUs without slide.
