TsolidusHirschmann yields bogus T at high P #52

Description

@itsmoosh

TsolidusHirschmann calculates a silicate solidus temperature using a polynomial function that is quadratic in P. For very large bodies, P is large enough to cause the predicted solidus temperature to become negative.

This causes erroneously negative quality factors QS in rock layers for large bodies. This is currently the only place in PlanetProfile where the function is used.
