checkTimePeriod: Check for continuous time periods in CMIP5 files
Description
Check that all time periods are continuous and present for multi-file ensembles.
Before starting to process what may be hundreds or thousands of CMIP5 files,

Details
This function calls getFileInfo to scan a directory tree,
and then examines the time data in these filenames. These time signatures
will be concatenated and an 'allHere' flag returned.
