enhance the procedure for fetching isotope properties like neutron separation (Sn) #43

Currently, we have a hard-coded database in the isotope_info.h header file and associated functions.

This can probably be made more efficient, first step might be to read from a prepared file of all isotope Sn's from nndc.bnl.gov

However, eventually it would be awesome to fetch a condensed file from a database (the NUDAT2 of nndc?) and use that. I even thought that maybe we could make a separate code project that is a NoSQL database supporting isotope data--then use that API.
