Summary

BigWhoop was designed with CFD simulations in mind. As a consequence the naming schemes for the available, dimensional operations have been derived from CFD naming conventions (i.e. X for the first spatial dimension, TS for the temporal dimension). Since this is not applicable to all numerical data sets and BigWhoop itself is unaware of the underlying spatial/temporal attributes of the underlying data sets it is prudent to move to a more agnostic naming scheme for the source code functions and command line options.

Commits e970a0d892 and 366827ca4a changed integer precision (uint16 -> uint64) to extend the range of the number of elements in the fourth dimension. Based on the assumption of being utilized as a time dimension it was assumed to not exceed the range of uint16. Equalizing the integer ranges of all four dimensions, hence, offers a agnostic data layout. Naming is unchanged, though.
