This update implements many changes undertaken over the past year, headlined by
-New capability to model speciated ocean chemistries (which we refer to as CustomSolutions) using the Frezchem and Supcrt16 databases adapted through the chemical modeling package Reaktoro.
-Ability to model an NaCl ocean model using an In-development NaCl(aq) Equation of State from Seafreeze
-Affinity for chemical (metabolic) reactions up to 1GPa, using the Supcrt16-organics database adapted through the chemical modeling package Reaktoro.
-Integration of the package PyALMA3, the python version of ALMA3, to calculate tidal Love numbers.

These updates expand the modeling of ocean worlds beyond the existing Seawater, MgSO4, and pure H2O compositions currently available in PlanetProfile. For details on using the CustomSolution capability, please do not hesitate to reach out. Additionally, there is a PlanetProfile tutorial webpage in progress!

This update also fixes many incidental bugs.
