Improve heuristics for chosing default number of scattering angles (-ntheta) #100

Currently this heurestics is based on number of dipoles. This becomes 
especially inadequate when refining discretization of the fixed particle.

Much better alternative is to base it on size parameter that is also readily 
available in the code. Because size parameter determines the typical angular 
scale for variation of light scattering patterns (from diffraction-like 
arguments).
