[solver]: solver specific parameters

Here are the parameters that are uniquely dependent on the solver chosen. Some parameters are used within solid_dmft and some are passed directly into the triqs solver. To see which parameters were passed to the solver for a given calculation, look at the triqs_solver_params in DMFT_input/solver in the h5 archive. Solver-specific parameters are listed in the respective sections.
