This utility script helps in the creation of experiment setups. It therefore
reads experiment descriptions from json files and creates everything necessary

* Read the json file of every experiment
* Create folders for every experiment
* Create the header file for every experiment
* Add the make file for every experiment
* Add c++ file for every experiment
