Write neutron state parameters to VITESS neutron filename.

## Description

    Detector-like component writing neutron state parameters to a
    VITESS neutron filename. Used to interface McStas components or
    simulations into VITESS. Each neutron is 104 bytes.

    Note that when standard output is used, as is the default, no
    monitors or other components that produce terminal output must be
    used, or the neutron output from this component will become
    corrupted.

    Example: Vitess_output(filename="MySource.vit", bufsize = 10000, progress = 1)

    %BUGS
    This component will NOT work with parallel execution (MPI).

## Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name | Unit | Description | Default |
filename | string | Filename of neutron file to write. Default is standard output | 0 |
bufsize | records | Size of neutron output buffer | 10000 |
progress | flag | If not zero, output dots as progress indicator | 0 |

AT ( | , | , |  | ) RELATIVE |  |
ROTATED ( | , | , |  | ) RELATIVE |
