Use theta for geometric twist angle and delta for trailing edge deflection angle #116

@1-Bart-1

Description

@1-Bart-1
  • theta is the angle between panel chord and body frame x-axis around the local spanwise panel y-axis, does not depend on the apparent wind, and can be used to describe the "twist" or deformation of the kite body
  • delta is the angle between the deflected trailing edge and the panel chord, around the panel spanwise y-axis
  • discuss and agree if this is a good plan
  • add to documentation
  • rename arguments in functions
  • update docstrings
