Smarter M1 gain #14

We want to be able to set gains for each Zernike mode based on how closely the mode matches a mirror bending mode. Some of the high order modes we fit by default are very stiff and difficult to correct. Since the mirror is unlikely to bend in such a way, it is probably best to ignore them or apply a very small gain to them when calculating forces.

Still worth considering, but this has been somewhat mitigated by changing the default number of modes to 22 which encompasses all of the major mirror bending modes.

which modes are used to calculate forces is now hard-coded. however, the same gain is applied to all of them equally. it would probably be better to have a tapered gain for the stiffer modes. need to go back through the old documentation for more insight on this.
