Add high-level interface for quasisteady enthalpy defect and enthalpy offset models #10

We currently support enthalpy defect models (built with transient radiative extinction in mind) with a simple, high-level function. While enthalpy offset and quasisteady heat loss models are entirely possible with Spitfire (with quasisteady actually being a demo script currently), adding high-level support would be great.

I'm going to punt on the enthalpy offset models for now. Quasisteady enthalpy defect is now supported. I want to make some general improvements to our handling of structured libraries and unstructured intermediates (which may not be only intermediates for long as well). These improvements should definitely occur before enthalpy offset, and we currently don't have a good motivator for offset models.
