This commit updates the optics code to calculate the rayleigh scattering length
using the Einstein-Smoluchowski formula instead of using the effective rayleigh
scattering lengths from the RSPR bank.

This commit speeds up the likelihood function by integrating the charge along
the track inline instead of creating an array and then calling trapz(). It also
introduces two global variables avg_index_d2o and avg_index_h2o which are the
average indices of refraction for D2O and H2O weighted by the PMT quantum
efficiency and the Cerenkov spectrum.

Previously I was computing the fraction of light absorbed and scattered by
calculating an average absorption and scattering length weighted by the
Cerenkov spectrum and the PMT quantum efficiency, which isn't correct since we
should be averaging the absorption and scattering probabilities, not the
absorption and scattering lengths.
This commit fixes this by instead computing the average probability that a
photon is absorbed or scattered as a function of the distance travelled by
integrating the absorption and scattering probabilities over all wavelengths
weighted by the PMT quantum efficiency and the Cerenkov spectrum.

This commit adds Rayleigh scattering to the likelihood function. The Rayleigh
scattering lengths come from rsp_rayleigh.dat from SNOMAN which only includes
photons which scattered +/- 10 ns around the prompt peak. The fraction of light
which scatters is treated the same in the likelihood as reflected light, i.e.
it is uniform across all the PMTs in the detector and the time PDF is assumed
to be a constant for a fixed amount of time after the prompt peak.

I noticed when fitting electrons that the cquad integration routine was not
very stable, i.e. it would return different results for *very* small changes in
the fit parameters which would cause the fit to stall.
Since it's very important for the minimizer that the likelihood function not
jump around, I am switching to integrating over the path by just using a fixed
number of points and using the trapezoidal rule. This seems to be a lot more
stable, and as a bonus I was able to combine the three integrals (direct
charge, indirect charge, and time) so that we only have to do a single loop.
This should hopefully make the speed comparable since the cquad routine was
fairly effective at only using as many function evaluations as needed.
Another benefit to this approach is that if needed, it will be easier to port
to a GPU.

This commit updates the PMT response bank and absorption lengths for H2O and
D2O based on the values in mcprod which were used for the LETA analysis.

Previously I was interpolating the absorption lengths using interp1d() but that
only works when the x array is uniform. Since the wavelengths are not spaced
uniformly, we have to use the GSL interpolation routines.

This commit updates get_absorption_length_snoman_d2o() and
get_absorption_length_h2o() to use absorption lengths from SNOMAN. Currently
I'm just using the values from prod/media.dat but there are other media files
in that directory that have values that seem to be actually measured using
in-situ measurements (for example media_qoca_*.dat). I'm not 100% sure which
ones to use so I am adding the default ones for now.

This commit adds the absorption length to the likelihood calculation. For now
I'm just using a single number independent of wavelength. I should update this
in the future to actually use the absorption lengths as measured by SNO and
then calculate an overall absorption length weighted by the Cerenkov spectrum
and the PMT quantum efficiency.
