Some intermediate forces from trajectory analysis should be more accessible for debugging #398

Desired capability or behavior.

from @dlcaldwelljr-ama-inc: Some intermediate forces from trajectory analysis should be more accessible for debugging. A few examples are:

GASP based "thrust_along_flightpath" and "thrust_across_flightpath"; FLOPS based "required_thrust" and "forces_perpendicular".

IMO unifying variable names should be sufficient for now. I'd like to keep the Aviary hierarchy as clean as possible with intermediate computations only added if they are commonly needed as constraints or their final values checked by users. Open to further discussion on what should/should not get added
