adding new electron distribution functions

1. add new names/parameters to src/model_radiation.h

2. add absorptivity to src/radiation.c:alpha_inv_abs(...)

3. add eDF in src/hotcross.c:dNdgammae_[X], modifying dNdgammae as appropriate

4a. modify eDF functions in src/compton.c - dfdgam(...) - fdist(...) -- note overlap with dNdgammae in src/hotcross.c

4b. ensure src/compton.c:sample_beta_distr_num(...) produces reasonable results on edge cases

5a. implement jnu_[X] and int_jnu_[X] in src/jnu_mixed.c. it's likely the integral calls into a table

5b. modify switches in src/jnu_mixed.c -- jnu(...), jnu_ratio_brems(...), int_jnu(...)
