solcore5 - v5.10.0

What's Changed

• Add Python-based PDD solver option (Sesame) and fix sign convention inconsistencies by @phoebe-p in https://github.com/qpv-research-group/solcore5/pull/265
• Making current and voltage signs consistent between the depletion approximation and PDD solvers may cause backwards compatibility issues for p-on-n cells
• Fixed DA dark current overflow and relevant test
• Update outdated examples
• Fix issue where plotting error causing examples in GitHub actions to fail
• Change build for S4 to install setuptools explicitly (necessary in Python 3.12)
• Fix issue where Fortran PDD did not work if all voltages < 0
• Upgrade build from devpy to spin (renamed), and to latest version of meson in the build system

solcore5 - Continue polishing Docs and solver

• Improvements in the quantum solver
• Added plot generation for LDOS
• Corrected an error in the parameters for InP
• Implemented parametric tunnel junction model
• Added support for external tunnel junction IV characteristics
• Improved external optics option
• Added optical properties for GaAsP, GaInP and AlInP, although with just 2 or three-point interpolation
• Started a simple tutorial
• Polished the PDD solver and separated the preparation of the solar cell from the optical solvers
• Material system updated with new properties, and other minor changes
• Radiative recombination coefficient for PDD is calculated from the absorption coefficient
• Improvements in the tunnel junction and the plotting of wavefunctions
• The TMM solver has been vectorized and built directly into Solcore.
