fixed some of the increased suspension thermal noise

This is consistent with the upper three stages. Previously only the top joint contributed.

These changes improve the modeling of suspensions that have a temperature
gradient along the fibers.  Each stage is split into an upper and a lower
joint, which can have different material properties assigned in the ifo
structure.  The temperature of a joint is that of the mass to which it is
attached.  (However, temperature gradients are not yet supported within
the top or bottom stages.)  The average of the upper and lower joint
dissipation is used to compute the noise.

Violin mode frequencies are slightly shifted in the aLIGO curve, due to
the removal of a questionable approximation that was used in previous
versions of the code.  Now it just uses the equations given in ref GG.
