Create xml extraction script

[psbritt]

Current xml output file is essentially unreadable. There needs to be a standard script included in the repo that a user can use to extract required information from it.

This isn't required. You can simply load the rendezvous file using the correct factory constructor. I'll elaborate in an email.

Sorry about the confusion. As we discussed, creating basic scripts for extracting basic estimator info or plotting basic estimator info can and should be done. Just to reiterate, PyFrensie allows users to reload the simulation state using the rendezvous file (the file type is user specified based on the extension and not necessarily xml, e.g. text (.txt), non-portable binary (.bin), hdf5 (.h5fa)) in only a few lines. Once the simulation state has been reloaded, simulation components, such as estimators, can be extracted. If estimators have complicated binning, extracting or plotting the information will likely require a custom script.
