Prepare for a run of `test_get_snapshot` which receives a
snapshot. Generalize main unit `test_get_snapshot`: it is now
parallelized; it reads a date index from stdin; it sends a snapshot
from process 1 to process 0 if it is run with 2 processes.

The logic of the overlap program will be that all processes access the
triplet of input shapefiles. So modify subroutine
`read_field_indices`: process 0 reads field indices and broadcasts
them. This implies that programs `test_overlap`, `test_read_snapshot`
and `test_read_eddy` use MPI.

Generalize `algorithm.py`.

In program `test_send_recv`, read input SHP triplet from command line
instead of requiring it to be present in the current directory with
the name `SHP_triplet_old`. Generalize `test_send_recv`: read
`ishape_last` from file. In `test_send_recv`, all processes must now
access the triplet of shapefiles since process 0 reads field
indices. For the sake of uniformity, read and broadcast k1 from
process 0.
