between (ra,dec) and (l,b). Can be tuned using the astropy-coords
configuration parameter.

- Added TwoPowerTriaxialPotential, a set of triaxial potentials with
iso-density contours that are arbitrary, similar, coaxial ellipsoids
whose 'radial' density is a (different) power-law at small and large
radii: 1/m^alpha/(1+m)^beta-alpha (the triaxial generalization of
TwoPowerSphericalPotential, with flattening in the density rather
than in the potential, see Merritt & Fridman 1996, Binney & Tremaine
2008). These include triaxial Hernquist and NFW potentials. Includes
fast C implementations that allow efficient orbit integration in
these potentials (<~5 ms / orbit).

- Implemented galpy.actionAngle.actionAngleIsochroneApprox (Bovy 2014)
for the general case of a time-independent potential, allowing
action-angle coordinates to be computed for triaxial
potentials. Previously, this module only supported axisymmetric
potentials.

- quasiisothermaldf input ro replaced by refr to avoid clash with ro
that specifies units (see above).
