Time steps for radiation transfer in AstroBEAR

See FluxLimitedDiffusion#no10 for a description…

This image shows the absorption time scale, the equilibrium time scale, the diffusion time scale, and the resulting 'safe' time step for the 1D planetary atmosphere setup.

If we use the single temperature solution, then we can switch to just the diffusion time scale which looks like it is 1000x longer? This might work for the two temperature model as well?
