Rename IonSim structs #96

Closed marwahaha closed 1 year ago

There was a discussion about renaming the structs involved. Currently, this is how it works:

Ion (responsible for the parameters of each ion involved)
IonConfiguration (responsible for how the ions are stuck together)
Trap (the entire apparatus!)

If we add multi-species chains and other tools, the proposal was to rename the structs to reflect what they ``actually'' do.

KM suggested:

IonConfiguration -> IonTrap
Trap -> Chamber
