Add Phased Array Beamforming #174

@abigailbishop

Description

@abigailbishop

Presently the PA simulation uses the signal-only SNR in the top PA Vpol coupled with the PA efficiency vs SNR curve from the Dashed Pink 0.8Hz/beam curve in Figure 15 and the zenith-dependent sensitivity of the different PA beams from Figure 13b of the PA Design and Performance paper. This means that we are not able to accurately test PA triggers on signal + noise. While this method is fairly accurate, it would be nice to have the full beamforming data acquisition pipeline added to AraSim. This should live in a new function under the Report scope, ideally not added to the preexisting Report::CheckPATrigger function.
