set the maximum kinetic energy in the fit dynamically based on particle ID
The range and energy loss tables have different maximum values for electrons, muons, and protons so we have to dynamically set the maximum energy of the fit in order to avoid a GSL interpolation error. This commit adds {electron,muon,proton}_get_max_energy() functions to return the maximum energy in the tables and that is then used to set the maximum value in the fit.
