Extended Chebyshev shape #292

good first issue
Should be easy to solve for someone not familiar with the internals of the code

usability
Makes using code more convenient
Currently ADDA supports axisymmetric (2D) Chebyshev particle, given by equation r=r0(1+εcos(nθ)). It should be straightforward to extend it to non-axisymmetric (3D) ones, given by equation r=r0(1+εcos(nθ)cos(mφ)). Moreover, the existing shape option
-shape chebyshev
can be used for that (with full backward compatibility) by adding a third optional argument m.For a reference - https://github.com/adda-team/adda/wiki/AddingShape
This idea appeared in discussion with Michael Kahnert (@michaelkahnert). He is experienced in simulating such shapes with his T-matrix code accounting for finite-order particle symmetries - Tsym.
