Add ghostscript and fix compilers

Katharina Höflich requested to merge add-ghostscript-and-fix-compilers into master

This should fix problems with MATLAB mex compiling and the MATLAB compiler SDK introduced by a very sloppy implementation of the compiler functionality... namely,

  • also adds the g++-6 compiler package, to support C++ compiling
  • links gcc, g++ and gfortran commands manually, as MATLAB does not find them elsewise

This should also solve the export_fig toolbox issues described in #2 (closed), namely

  • adds the ghostscript and poppler-utils Ubuntu packages

On the image build side, there is now a collection of MATLAB scripts that define what is expected in terms of MATLAB image functionality and which currently do quick checks on netCDF data file access, FORTRAN, C and C++ mex compiling, as well as figure export with the external export_fig toolbox. I have also added calculation of checksums for the exported MATLAB image files, which are meant to be listed in the CHANGELOG.md file manually.
