Standard method for calculation of propagation paths.

This method calculates complete propagation paths in a stepwise manner. Each step is denoted as a “ppath_step” and is the path through/inside a single grid box.

The definition of a propgation path cannot be accommodated here. For more information read the chapter on propagation paths in the ARTS user guide.

This method should never be called directly. Use ppathCalc() instead if you want to extract propagation paths.
