ALMOST runs in octave

[galenreed]

Just in case you're interested: I'm trying out this toolbox in octave; it pretty much runs with the tool boxes optim, io, and statistics added, but a few things aren't implemented yet:

• optimoptions
• nlparci
  references to these have to be commented out to tun in Octave

startup.m added to add appropriate Octave toolboxes

fit_pyr_kinetics() now runs in Octave

Remaining issue:
fit_kPL still uses optimoptions and nlparci

I think its mostly Octave compatible, I've thrown in a couple Jupyter notebooks which take advantage of this. reopen this if you run into issues!

in spectral-spatial pulse design, cfirpm() used in fir_pm_minpow() but not implemented in octave
