Allow uncertainties to be specified when diagnostics are given on command line #23

When temperatures and/or densities are specified instead of being calculated from the data, it would be useful to allow the user to also specify an uncertainty. Otherwise, the statistical uncertainties on output quantities will be underestimated. This should be optional though, because I imagine a lot of the time people wouldn't have a meaningful estimate of the uncertainty on the quantity they want to fix.

Closing the issue: I think that the effort required to code this will be disproportionate to the necessity of the feature.
