Initialize active in RecurrentNetwork initializer.

Use genome aggregation function in RecurrentNetwork in place of hard-coded summation.
Added missing type check on bool parameters in ConfigParameter.
Removed option to omit config filename in Config initializer.
Added minimal tests for RecurrentNetwork.
Updated config tests to work with current library implementation.
Commented feed-forward and Izhikevitch network tests that are not currently up to date.
