Binary file-format for 1D-geometry-file

When calibrating a BASEchain-model with lots of cross-sections, parsing of the cross-sections within BASEMENT takes up quite some time. 
Therefor it would be handy, if BASEMENT could dump a binary-file, say in HDF5-format, which could then alternatively be used instead of the bmg-file.

This could result in the following workflow:

First run:

BASECHAIN_1D
{
   [...]
   GEOMETRY
   {
      file = geom.bmg
      [...]
   }
   OUTPUT
   [...]
   {
      SPECIAL_OUTPUT
      {
         type = hdf5
         geometry = ( all )
      }
     
   [...]
}

Follwing runs:

BASECHAIN_1D
{
   [...]
   GEOMETRY
   {
      file = geom.h5
      [...]
   }
   [...]
}
