Provide a finite size "direct simulation" algorithm in MIIND

To better support research for which direct simulation is required, MIIND should provide an algorithm, based on GridAlgorithm to simulate a population of individual neurons.

In MIIND v1.0.10 you can now add the attribute "finite_size" to Mesh and GridAlgorithms in the XML file set to a number of individual neurons to be simulated. Currently spikes cannot be passed to individual neurons and neuron spike history is unavailable. The output rate remains the average firing rate of the finite number of neurons (it therefore has a variance). A new issue will be added to require the ability to record the spike history and to pass in input spikes to specific neurons as well as connections between individual neurons.
