MNT: refactoring in flight.py and lint corrections to function.py and test_multidim_drag.py

-MNT:  removed unused velocity in body frame parameter requirement from all instances of get_drag_coefficient in flight.py

- MNT: corrected docstring for get_value_opt_grid in function.py

- MNT: shifted import of classes before the definition of functions in test_multidim_drag.py
