Polarization from Miller indices

Nicolas Tancogne-Dejean requested to merge polarisation_from_miller into develop

Description

Allow to define the laser polarization in terms of Miller indices. For this, one must provide the variable MillerIndicesBasis that contains the reduced coordinates of the X, Y, and Z high symmetry points. This is useful when the crystal are arbitrarily rotated. The coordinates of the points can easily be obtained using for instance XCrysden.
