Moving hyper-specific TH parameters out of ARMI (#1001)

After working with @andfranklin , I have determined that we should move the following 23 parameters out of ARMI and into this Plugin: - pinPeakingStdDev - TH0SigmaFuelCenterlineT - TH0SigmaOutletT - TH2SigmaFuelCenterlineT - TH2SigmaOutletT - TH3SigmaFuelCenterlineT - TH3SigmaOutletT - THaveCoolantVel - THaveInletVel - THaveOutletVel - THcoldChannel - THcoldChanTemp - THcoldPin - THdeltaPBundle - THdeltaPFormLoss - THdeltaPGrav - THdeltaPNoGrav - THhotPin - THinletDynamicPressure - THmaxCoolantVel - THmixingLength - THorificeSetting - THpeakingStdDev - THradialPeakingFactor
