Replace assert() macros in cmdline.cpp with raised exceptions, as assert() should only be used for things which should always be true, which is not the case, here.

Modify gene unit tests following refactoring of DNA and memory interaction.

• Give each gene its own *.h and *.cpp file
• Add overall genes.h file to include all the others
• Include overall genes.h file within dna.h

Creatures should die when resources reach zero. Remove each dead creature from main creatures list, and create a dead creatures list to move them into (or simply maintain statistics, and delete them).

Refactor genetic strategies by calling Memory functions such as prev_memory(opponent_id, history=1) rather than passing the memories list. This will make the code more explicit and reduce coupling. 'history' parameter could be set to 2, for instance, to receive not the last memory, but the second to last. Own moves, or opponents moves, could be returned.
