Explore alternative chemical networks to the default VULCAN ones #53

For running kinetics calculations, it's important to choose an appropriate network.

The CHNO oxidising one that comes with VULCAN seems to work well so far, but we should at least explore other options.

This recent paper outlines a new network developed by Olivia Venot and her group in Paris: https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.08561, which they claim is more suitable for higher temperatures.

I have contacted them for more information.

Update on this: Roméo will make this new CHNO network available via KIDA in the next few months. He believes that it should be compatible with both reducing and oxidised atmospheres, in our use cases with PROTEUS.

This network is now available online here: https://www.anr-exact.cnrs.fr/chemical-schemes/. I have also received the photodissociation data, but cannot attach it here.
