Resolve "Mistake in suspension thermal noise calculation"

Closes #68

See merge request !96

Christopher Wipf authored 4 years ago and Jameson Rollins committed 4 years ago

The joint order in hForce/vForce must remain consistent between
this code and the thermal noise calculation

Also remove a couple of unused variables

Fixes #68

Remove carrier density noise from pygwinc

Closes #50

See merge request !90

Based on the new calculation with Debye screening from
arXiv:2003.05345, there appears to be no plausible scenario where
this noise will affect the design of GW interferometers.  Koji
estimated the noise is below 1e-28/rtHz for Voyager, as did Florian
Bruns (lead author of arXiv:2003.05345).  It's also negligible for
ET, as discussed in the paper.

Fixes #50

convert more types to float for easier serialization

was not matching some derived classes

also fix some associated error and log messages

convert IFO Structs to yaml for HDF5 storage

allow use of --no-plot option with interactive mode, and improve
banner and docs.

this was a bug that it wasn't using a defined freq attribute if it was
available and a freq argument was not provided at initialization.

same as str for now.

This fixes a bug whereby un-styled traces for some reason pick up the
previous trace style.

Don't use the root logger since it's sometimes used by other modules, and
it's kind of sloppy to do so.
