Differentiate between total/gross and active/aperture area #13

This PR adds differentiation between the gross and aperture geometries to the shaded_fraction function. Instead of only having the keyword collector_geometry, the collector geometry is now specified using the two keywords: gross_geometry and aperture_geometry.

The PR also refactors the code in the _plot_shading function.
