Create pause-able search for cliffs on a local machine

[knod]

If one or more of us can run a search in terminal to try to track down cliffs, specifically in SNAP, that could be useful. There would be millions of runs. We'd either need to be able to pause or to chunk it into different runs so that it doesn't have to just run forever on everyone's machine.

It'd also be nice to save the output. We could possibly use it later to test against already-existing SNAP calculators.

We'll try to describe some of the parameters for that in here.

[knod]

So, some parameters. This is different from testing our calculations because we're not testing for changes in all kinds of behavior. This is not completely optimized for SNAP values but is a good start.

Key:

• Anything that is a value can stay that value always.
• Anything that is a type can vary in the ways described in comments.

// Must try combos of 1 member to... 7? I'll have to double check that one

// - No disabled head vs. 1 disabled head
// - No head over 62 vs. 1 head over 62
// - No disabled member vs. 1 disabled member
// - Nobody over 62 vs. 1 person over 62
// - Nobody under 18 vs. 1 person
// - Nobody under 13 vs. 1 person (have to double check this)
// Those need to be checked when they overlap, like an elderly
// and disabled person, but you don't need to duplicate them.
// E.g. you don't need two people that are under 13.

Definitely feel free to ask clarifying questions because, though I've done my best, this may not all be quite right.

So it might be the case that there are no cliffs in SNAP since 2016. We may want to consider that.

As a side note, I think disabled and elderly might work out to be the same thing.
