Removed rest of common pipe references.
[#27] Code is now entirely free from the common pipe. We can begin
implementing its replacement.

-### The Common Pipe
-The common pipe is a mechanism through which different SALIS simulations can
-communicate. This is done via a FIFO file object that gets instantiated
-whenever a Salis simulation is running. Organisms can push or pull instructions
-to/from this common pipe via the SEND/RCVE instructions.
+### The Common Sender and Receiver
+Common sender and receiver are special functors through which SALIS simulations
+can communicate. Organisms can push or pull instructions via these functions,
+which must be provided by the wrapper application. With some configuration,
+genetic data may easily travel through a local or wide area network.

### Python integration
- Salis controller/viewer is now written in python 3
