Changes to master_example.py, modifications to all functions in TORCHE.py, and major updates to the README. #19

This is a big update that involves changes to the master_example.py to make it more readable/understandable. Eventually the goal is the turn master_example.py to include a staggered tube layout over a few Reynolds numbers.

The TORCHE.py file has been modified to remove dependence on several variables that are going to be used elsewhere. A lot of prep for getting ranges of validity warnings added to the functions but random fixes including spaces vs. tab issues (... python why).

The readme has been extensively updated and an attempt to make it consistent across each function has been done. It still needs work, but that is in the future with other major updates like property change corrections, yaw, and others being removed from dP_Zu and made to be used in a wrapper if desired.

An issues.txt has been added, this will be removed once they have been migrated over to github issues.
