Add support for multiple sources in lightcurve generation and plotting - #8

- Implemented a strict flux conservation sanity check in the plotting module to ensure the sum of source fluxes aligns with the true flux. - Enhanced the plotting functions to optionally display fluxes for two sources. - Updated the lightcurve output to include relative fluxes for both sources in the output files. - Modified the lightcurve generator to compute and store individual source magnifications for binary events. - Adjusted the runner to correctly reference parameter files for binary source cases. (smoke bug) - Expanded the event structure to accommodate magnifications for both sources. - Ensured memory allocation for new source magnification vectors during setup. - Fixed malformed fits files from outputLightcurve.cpp (src bug)

If John wanted the magnifications, not individual flux components, I can add that too. |

Specific addition to the lightcurve generator were: if(Paramfile->multiple_sources && Event->scompanions.size()>0)
{
...
// Store individual source magnifications
Event->Asrc1[idx] = amp;
Event->Asrc2[idx] = amp2;
...
} else {
Event->Asrc1[idx] = amp;
Event->Asrc2[idx] = 0.0; // No second source

Thanks Amber - this will be helpful! I'm approving the requests for now, but I have a couple of requests - at least one is annoying, sorry.
- Can you change to using mu instead of A to differentiate it from the relative flux which is using A currently (terrible choice I know)
- (the annoying one) can we 2-d vectorize these, please to enable future development of more complicated source systems. For computational efficiency I think the first index should be source number, and the second should be observation epoch (i.e., each magnification curve is a vector inside a vector of vectors.
