Consider how AnvredCorrection can be integrated with our existing absorption correction algorithms

[Russell Taylor]

This algorithm is for absorption corrections in a spherical sample. It's been imported from another software package and keeps the interface (and name) that users of that package are used to.

It would be good to look at how this algorithm (or at least its interface) can be brought into the fold of our other absorption correction algorithms. One option would be to keep AnvredCorrection as it is - off to the side in Crystal and with the name and parameters that some people are used to - and to wrap it with a pass-through algorithm that has the parameters in a form analogous to our other absorption correction algorithms and with a meaningful name such that someone looking to correct absorption in a spherical sample would actually find it!

There are certainly other, probably better, options that may be uncovered by a discussion involving the interested parties.

Color fill plot of corrections looks very similar to corrections from CylindricalCorrection with similar size sample. Will add wiki page.

When run with the correctly mapped setting, both algorithms give the same answer.
