Bring airfoil inputs and section ordering in line with the Python VSM... #414
Description
Bring airfoil inputs and section ordering in line with the Python VSM v2.3.0
Known differences, unmeasured: NeuralFoil entries drop xtr from YAML and default to model_size large and xtr 1.0 (Python: xxxlarge, 0.01); a polar CSV with alpha in radians is misread (Python auto-detects); sections with different alpha grids throw (Python takes the union); sections sort by global y (Python by the principal axis of the section spread, so rotated wings differ), and Python warns on sections that double back. Python's tests are tests/AirfoilAerodynamics and tests/WingGeometry. Measure each before changing it. Build on the branch of the pull request for #410.

Measuring each of the five airfoil-input and section-ordering differences against Python VSM v2.3.0 first (NeuralFoil defaults and xtr, radian polar CSVs, differing alpha grids, section sort axis, doubling-back warning), then changing what the numbers show differs. Built on #415. Leaving out the solver and result fields, which #411, #412 and #413 carry.

Waiting for #415. This branch is built on it, so the turn picks up again when its checks are green, or when it is no longer open.
