Description

Implements a set of nshells Wolter I Paraboloid/Hyperboloid pairs using conics.h from ConicTracer.

The component has two distinct modes of specifying the geometry:
a) Via the radii vector, parametrized from largest to smallest radius with a length of 'nshells'

b) By specifying radii rmax and rmin, between which a quadratic law distributes 'nshells' surfaces.

The mirrors are assumed to be touching at the mid-optic plane, i.e. there is no gap between primary
and secondary mirror.* By definition the ratio between primary and secondary mirror glancing angles is 1/3.
At present a single m-value is used for all mirrors.
