Combined Commands

Two new commands have been added as short-cuts for common working patterns:

cylc vip

Validate, install and plays a workflow, equivalent to:

cylc validate <path>
cylc install <path>
cylc play <id>
cylc vr

Validate and reinstall a workflow, then either: - reload the workflow if it is running. - restart the workflow if it is stopped.
