Add a big nonreacting mechanism for POSF fuels #626

Add to README.md for liquid_fuels_nonreacting explaining where these come from.
Move all these .inp into a subdirectory within liquid_fuels_nonreacting to keep things clean. Usually the .inp file in the Mechanisms directories is the Chemkin format .inp file so separating these will avoid potential confusion.

I don't love having all the repeated species property data for each POSF when really only the Y_0 is changing, but IDK what a better strategy would be here.

I hear ya. Maybe we provide input files for one fuel for both MP and GCM and leave it up to the user to generate the other input files? We only have a validation case setup for posf10264 so it would make sense to provide those input files.

Yeah, let's just do POSF10264 then

Sounds good. I removed all the other POSF fuels in the fuellib_posf_nonreacting mechanism, but left the others in the liquid_fuels_nonreacting mechanism as they are mixture properties and vary from file to file.
This PR introduces a general 93 species nonreacting mechanism that can be used with a variety of POSF jet fuels defined in FuelLib.
Included are several input files for the various fuels, which include initial mass fractions from GCxGC data and property predictions for use with the GCM and the original PeleMP spray modules. All transport and thermo properties are from http://rmg.mit.edu
