This PR refactors the spin-wave calculation so that it can be parallelised over q. Currently it seems that the parallelism slows things down, so I've put it behind a global flag
PARALLEL
while we're still testing things - I'll put some benchmarks together to see if it's faster for a large example. We also get a modest speed improvement as it avoids recalculating theC
matrix for every q-value (it is q-independent) and also factors out the coupling-independent terms over sites.
