Call simInit and spades together

These functions are convenience wrappers that may allow for more efficient Caching. Passes all arguments to simInit, then passes the created simList to spades.

Arguments

times	A named list of numeric simulation start and end times (e.g., times = list(start = 0.0, end = 10.0)).
params	A list of lists of the form list(moduleName=list(param1=value, param2=value)). See details.
modules	A named list of character strings specifying the names of modules to be loaded for the simulation. Note: the module name should correspond to the R source file from which the module is loaded. Example: a module named "caribou" will be sourced form the file caribou.R, located at the specified modulePath(simList) (see below).
objects	(optional) A vector of object names (naming objects that are in the calling environment of the simInit, which is often the .GlobalEnv unless used programmatically. NOTE: this mechanism will fail if object name is in a package dependency), or a named list of data objects to be passed into the simList (more reliable). These objects will be accessible from the simList as a normal list, e.g,. mySim$obj.
paths	An optional named list with up to 4 named elements, modulePath, inputPath, outputPath, and cachePath. See details. NOTE: Experimental feature now allows for multiple modulePaths to be specified in a character vector. The modules will be searched for sequentially in the first modulePath, then if it doesn't find it, in the second etc.
inputs	A data.frame. Can specify from 1 to 6 columns with following column names: objectName (character, required), file (character), fun (character), package (character), interval (numeric), loadTime (numeric). See inputs and vignette("ii-modules") section about inputs.
outputs	A data.frame. Can specify from 1 to 5 columns with following column names: objectName (character, required), file (character), fun (character), package (character), saveTime (numeric) and eventPriority (numeric). If eventPriority is not set, it defaults to .last(). If eventPriority is set to a low value, e.g., 0, 1, 2 and saveTime is start(sim), it should give "initial conditions". See outputs and vignette("ii-modules") section about outputs.
loadOrder	An optional list of module names specifying the order in which to load the modules. If not specified, the module load order will be determined automatically.
notOlderThan	A time, as in from Sys.time(). This is passed into the Cache function that wraps .inputObjects. If the module uses the .useCache parameter and it is set to TRUE or ".inputObjects", then the .inputObjects will be cached. Setting notOlderThan = Sys.time() will cause the cached versions of .inputObjects to be refreshed, i.e., rerun.
debug	Optional tools for invoking debugging. Supplying a list will invoke the more powerful logging package. See details. Default is to use the value in getOption("spades.debug").
progress	Logical (TRUE or FALSE show a graphical progress bar), character ("graphical", "text") or numeric indicating the number of update intervals to show in a graphical progress bar.
cache	Logical. If TRUE, then the spades call will be cached. This means that if the call is made again with the same simList, then `spades`` will return the return value from the previous run of that exact same simList. Default FALSE. See Details. See also the vignette on caching for examples.
.plotInitialTime	Numeric. Temporarily override the .plotInitialTime parameter for all modules. See Details.
.saveInitialTime	Numeric. Temporarily override the .plotInitialTime parameter for all modules. See Details.
...	Arguments passed to simInit and spades
