The model now calculates orbital period from semimajor axis, star mass, and planet mass. This is then stored in the helpfile, although it doesn't currently evolve with time. Closes #252.
This will be useful when implementing tidal heating calculations, as the heat dissipated by tides depends on the frequency of the perturbation and the response of the planet. The period depends on the planet mass because we are accounting for orbital eccentricity, which could potentially evolve over time due to tides.
