Create the cosimulation.

* src/tgbaalgos/simulation.cc: Add the cosimulation:
(acc_compl_automaton) Add a template parameter.
(acc_compl_automaton::process_link) Add a swap source destination.
(direct_simulation) Add a template parameter.
(direct_simulation::compute_sig) Add a flag in the signature to
know if the state is initial.
(direct_simulation::build_result) Remove the flag before reading
the signature.
Swap source and destination when building the new automaton.
* src/tgbaalgos/simulation.hh: Declare and document the
Cosimulation.
* src/tgbatest/ltl2tgba.cc: Associate the cosimulation with the -RRS
option.
* src/tgbatest/spotlbtt.test: Add a test on the cosimulation.
