Pass planet spin rate information to AGNI #679

Description

Feature description

AGNI version 1.10 accounts for the atmospheric inflation effect induced by outward centrifugal acceleration offsetting the inward gravitational acceleration. Calculating this offset depends on the planet axial rotation period (day length) and the latitude of the modelled column. PROTEUS should pass these parameters to AGNI, since they are assumed to be 'disabled' otherwise. More important for fast rotating planets with low MMW envelopes.

Preferred solution

Set the axial_period (seconds) and latitude (degrees) parameters when calling AGNI.atmosphere.setup! in the PROTEUS agni.py wrapper.
