Improve error propagation when stellar parameters are computed from photometry
Instead of using linear Gaussian error propagation, uncertainties for radius, mass, and luminosity are now computed using Gaussian error propagation based on a Monte Carlo method. While this yields basically the same results as the linear approach for small errors, it is much more reliable for large uncertainties. In particular, it will no longer yield negative radii, masses, or luminosities.
