Improvement: lineage tree information in default output
the default PhysiCell output misses information to generate evolutionary lineage trees. it would be good enough when each agent saves information about:
- parent agent_id
- simulation time of birth
- simulation time of death
with this information, things like generation number or generation time can be derived downstream (in Python, R, Julia or whatever your favorite data analysis language flavor).
