Springsharp 2.1 Data file format

[Guinness]

Because I'm thinking about auto-parsing SS data files for various purposes, I spent some time decoding the SS data format (which if you've ever looked in the file, you know is just a list of values with no descriptors).

Since it took me a decent enough chunk of time to do this, I thought it worthwhile to share. Chances are at least some here already have this, but here goes:
