[FieldTrip] [multivariate] "multivariate" subdirectory not included upon "addpath" of FieldTrip root directory

[Kanal Eliezer]

Hello Sander -

Just so you know, there is a way to recursively add folders to a path, using the `genpath` command:

addpath(genpath(path/to/folder))

However, as you said, it's probably just a better idea to add it to the `ft_defaults` file so it's added automatically, as you suggested.
