change default fftw plan

Martin Lueders requested to merge change_fftw_plan into main

Description

The current default for the FFTW_PLAN (measure) introduces numerical fluctuations between runs, and therefore we change the default to estimate, which slightly increases the runtime for longer runs (but has shorter overhead). Users can still change the plan back to measure, if this is an issue. The numerical noise, on the other hand, is problematic for the testsuite.
