Stream muxing block to multiplex many streams into one with a specified format.

Muxes N streams together producing an output stream that contains N0 items from the first stream, N1 items from the second, etc. and repeats:

       [N0, N1, N2, ..., Nm, N0, N1, ...]

Lengths: A vector (list/tuple) specifying the number of items from each stream the mux together. Warning: this requires that at least as many items per stream are available or the system will wait indefinitely for the items.

This flowgraph shows the Stream Mux block muxing 2 input streams into an output stream with lengths = [3, 2].

The block will take 3 items from the first stream, 2 items from the second stream, and repeat. Notice that tags are preserved.

 == Example Flowgraph ==
-Insert description of flowgraph here, then show a screenshot of the flowgraph and the output if there is an interesting GUI.  Currently we have no standard method of uploading the actual flowgraph to the wiki or git repo, unfortunately.  The plan is to have an example flowgraph showing how the block might be used, for every block, and the flowgraphs will live in the git repo.
