Options added to the ion source for the purpose of creating simulations to compare to Mantas Abazorius's thesis results, varying both the target density and temperature of the distribution at the origin of the domain.

Modifications to the plotting script to permit quick comparisons of f/v^2.

…dary condition in a region of the plasma. Use with source_type="energy".
…f options available to ions. This could model a beam or alpha particles. Running with this option currently leads to a growth in density until the solution breaks, because we also need to specify a loss mechanism for a steady-state solution to exist.
…V diagnostics in preference for the general 2D2V diagnoistics.

Looks reasonable to me. Feel free to merge.

… to model injection of particles around specific vpa0, vperp0, with a Gaussian shape function. In the "beam-with-losses" option, a sink is added to permit steady state solutions in a 0D2V simulation.
