Differential Algebra plugin

Differential algebra plugin provides user interface for calculation of optical systems containing lenses and multipoles (even strong). Allows calculation of aberrations of arbitrary order.

Plugin can be used for design of aberration correctors, Wien filters, etc. Aberrations calculated using DA plugin can be used in optimizations.

Plugin is based on work of Tomáš Radlička
