Feature or improvement description

The proposed code modifies the JSON output file from SubDyn. Now, the local x_e local axis for circular beams is also written down in the output file (similar to what we do with the rectangular beams using SideA_dir). This allows to visualize the local coordinate system in viz3Danim (see for reference: ebranlard/viz3Danim#9).
With this modification, the user can orientate the local x_e and y_e axes for circular beams using the spin angle (
MSpin) in SubDyn. Till now, we were computing the default x_e and y_e axes in circular beams within viz3Danim without accounting for the spin angle because we didn't have visibility about it. Now, this information is available for viz3Danim and it can be parsed.Related issue, if one exists
ebranlard/viz3Danim#10
