Airshower + Beacon simulation

Simulate receiving an airshower and beacon in an array. Using the beacon, the clocks can be calibrated.

The ZHaires simulated airshower is stored in ./ZH_airshower. The produced files can be read using ./earsim.

Steps:

1. Setup

   1. Beacon ([./generate_beacon.py])

      1. Define tx position
      2. Read in antennas
      3. Sample beacon at each antenna
      4. Add to relevant polarisation
      5. Save antenna traces

   2. Timeoffset ([./generate_timeoffset.pyt])

      1. Generate timeoffsets for each antenna
      2. Modify time samples
