set the photoionization cross-sections
Change the photoelectric absorption cross-sections in use.

The three options are: bcmc, from Balucinska-Church & McCammon
(1992)
with a new He cross-section
based on Yan et al. (1998);
obcm, as bcmc but with the old He cross-section,
and, vern, from Verner & Yakovlev
(1995)
and Verner et
al. (1996).
This changes the cross-sections in use for all absorption models with the exception of
wabs, the tbabs family of models, amd ismabs.
