Hey,
I committed the necessary changes to our package structure. Hopefully all
imports are fixed by now (tests and doc build work fine).
Even though the file structure changed quite a bit all code under
typhon.physics.units is still available with this very import. Only
typhon.physics.em moved to typhon.physics.units.em.
My last commit also contains a first idea on how said wrapper functions
could look like. But I am open for suggested improvements as I am
unfamiliar with pint.
