Include properties of satellite lines #16

From @drix00 I did not work with satellite line in practice. But in reference book like Reed green book (1993), the satellite line are defined as "doubly ionized atoms". Double ionization is produced by electron bombardment or Auger effect (maybe also from Coster-Kronig transition). However, they seem to include line affected by bounding effect as satellite line. So a more general definition of "satellite line" is lines not corresponding to any transition identifiable in the energy level diagram. From the point of view of pyxray, we need to have a way to define a line with an energy and label, but without clear transition from two atomic subshells.
