MercuryDPM features

Here is a list of Mercury features, to get an overview. Useful for Developing new release, and for the website. It's based on the features I (Thomas) recognise, so please add.

Boundary	Maser	ConstantMassFlowMaser	X
Boundary	Maser	Maser	-	X	X	To be deprecated
Boundary	Maser	SubcriticalMaser	X			Why is there a SubcriticalMaserBoundaryTEST?
Boundary	Maser	SubcriticalMaserTEST	X			Maser that does not depend on species conversion, and can be used in parallel. Now mostly works in its branch, however it segfaults every once in a while for no apparent reason. Should replace SubcriticalMaserBoundary or MaserBoundary (keep one) in the future.
