3 piece dynamic polytrope eos model, eos viability checks

Leslie Wade requested to merge leslie.wade/lalsuite:jeremy into master

Description

This merge request is to 1) add a new EOS model to lalsimulation, and 2) to add some viability checks to the spectral decomposition EOS model.

The new model we're adding is a 3-piece dynamic polytrope. What's dynamic about this model is that the joining pressures are parameters.

The viability checks that we're adding through errors if the model is expected to fail before making the EOS or the EOS family.

These changes are helpful for implementing parameterized EOS inference in Bilby.
