Calculates absorption matrix describing Faraday rotation.

Faraday rotation is a change of polarization state of an electromagnetic wave propagating through charged matter by interaction with a magnetic field. Hence, this method requires that the magnetic field is non-zero and that the electron density is held by atm_point (SpeciesEnum : free_electrons).

Faraday rotation affects Stokes parameters 2 and 3 (but not intensity!).

Like all spectral_propmat-modifying methods, the method is additive, i.e., does not overwrite the propagation matrix spectral_propmat, but adds further contributions.
