Use Pint to automatically perform dimensional operations #219

Pint (https://pint.readthedocs.io/en/0.9/index.html) seems to have the functionality to automatically find units for expressions based off the units for states, parameters, constants, etc. Doing this will make it easier for the user as well as guaranteeing dimensional consistency.

Awesome! I know that I had a lot of trouble finding out what units would come out as when doing reduction, hopefully this will make it easier to determine units based on the result as opposed to the process.
