Workspace Method abs_cont_descriptionInit

Description

Initializes the two workspace variables for the continuum description,
abs_cont_names and abs_cont_parameters.

This method does not really do anything, except setting the two
variables to empty Arrays. It is just necessary because the method
abs_cont_descriptionAppend wants to append to the variables.

Formally, the continuum description workspace variables are required
by the absorption calculation methods (e.g., *abs_coefCalc*). Therefore you
always have to call at least abs_cont_descriptionInit, even if you do
not want to use any continua.
