Set hydrogen inventory by concentration #287

Currently we specify hydrogen inventory in absolute terms of equivalent numbers of Earth oceans. Other volatiles (S, N, C) are set in relative terms.

This means that for fixed volatile delivery parameters, less massive planets will end up receiving relatively more hydrogen than more massive planets. As a result, comparing planets in the same system becomes difficult when they have different masses.

It would be ideal if we could set the hydrogen inventory of the planet in relative terms too. This will require minor changes to both PROTEUS and CALLIOPE.
