`mebos` works similarly as `flow`, but in contrast to `flow`, `mebos`
only creates the deck in the common code path whilst the
'EclipseState' and the other higher-level parser objects are always
created internally by the vanguard. this approach avoids code
duplication and the worst effects of parser API creep.
to avoid having to compile non-trivial compile units multiple times,
the actual code of the variants is moved into `ebos_$VARIANT.{hh,cc}`
files and the respective compile units are each put into a small
static library whilst the main function of said libraries are invoked
by either the multiplexed or the respective specialized simulator's
`main()`. This is also somewhat similar of how `flow` works, with the
difference that `mebos` uses the blackoil variant to determine the
parameters it needs to know for parsing the deck instead of
introducing a "fake" type tag for this. The rationale is to reduce
compile time compared to the "fake type tag" approach and -- to a
lesser extend -- avoid unnecessary copy-and-pasting of code. In
particular, this means that for the vast majority of cases, only one
place needs changed in the code for all `ebos` variants if, for
example, the parser API requires further objects in the future.
so far, the actual specializations of the simulator were compiled into
the `libopmsimulators` library and the build of the glue code
(`flow.cpp`) thus needed to be deferred until the library was fully
built. Since the compilation of the glue code requires a full property
hierarchy for handling command line parameters, this arrangement
significantly increases the build time for systems with a sufficient
number of parallel build processes. ("sufficient" here means 8 or more
threads, i.e., a quadcore system with hyperthreading is sufficient
provided that it has enough main memory.)
the new approach is not to include these objects in
`libopmsimulators`, but to directly deal with them in the `flow`
binary. this allows all of them and the glue code to be compiled in
parallel.

(this corresponds to a ~20% reduction of the time spend on waiting for
the compiler.)
