Lyapunov exponents & Algorithm Improvements

See CHANGELOG.md

Parametric Types everywhere + massive improvements

See the CHANGELOG.md for details of these 20 solar masses-massive changes.

0.6 julia compatibility

nothing change besides deprecations and type definition syntax

Plotting back here + Major improvements

Major type stability improvements! Also, now evolve evolves for number of collisions if the time argument is Int. Other minor improvements all-around were also made!

Plotting is now available through this package on-demand by calling DynamicalBilliards.enableploting()!

Plotting functionallity moved to a different package.

With this release, all plotting functionality is moved to the package DynamicalBilliardsPlotting.
This is done mainly to remove the dependency of the core package into other plotting packages.
This also allows that if major changes need to be made to the plotting functions (like going from PyPlot to Plots) the main package remains unaffected.

Some syntax also changed to welcome Julia 0.6.

Changelog:

• updated isphysical: now has better angle range and checks symmetries only at ω=0
• removed all plotting from DynamicalBilliards and into DynamicalBilliardsPLotting
• removed PyPlot from REQUIRE
• changed where field to pflag field to account for Julia 0.6
• updated documentation to reflect new plotting procedures
• minor improvements to the documentation all around
