FIX: Deployed Matlab apps must not call addpath()

https://mathworks.com/help/compiler/isdeployed.html The path of a deployed application is fixed at compile time and cannot change. Use isdeployed to ensure that the application uses path modifying functions, such as addpath, before deployment. This fixes the case where nipype calls SPM12 Standalone, associated to Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) R2019a (9.6) or later. Upcoming versions of SPM12 Standalone will most probably be compiled with Matlab R2021b, and hence will be subject to this bug.
