This change adds a new plot type "S11 mu" to show the complex permeability of an inductor core.
Cores are measured by putting one or more windings on them and measuring the S11.
In order to correctly calculate the permeability the user also needs to set the dimensions of the core (cross-section and effective length) and the number of windings. This can be done by opening the context menu for the plot (right click on the graph area).
The core dimensions can either be measured from the core directly using calipers.
More info on how the calculations work are available in #206
A brief description of the new measurement method is also added to the main project README.
