Implement the Horowitz algorithm for iterative solution to field equations #73

A good description of which can be found in Winske on page 143, equation 23 and 24. See also the paper by Horowitz (although it appears we do not have access).

I have the Horowitz paper in my Mendeley collection. l added it to the Skeletor group. Let me know in case it doesn't appear there soon.

I suggest we also add the CAM-CL method. This method was introduced in Matthews 1994 and is used in the CAMELIA code. There is a recent paper on arxiv on Plasma turbulence at ion scales: a comparison between PIC and Eulerian hybrid-kinetic approaches where they use this code.

The method is described in Winske just above the discussion of the Horowitz method.
