Nonlinear storage constant units #8

Description

@snorfalorpagus

The nonlinear storage constant (Cq) has units "volume.time" (i.e. L^3.T).

The current docstring for this is incorrect: https://github.com/jetuk/pycatchmod/blob/d43438d9f8b9013c8241a8eebce81ca6ac0cd2a9/pycatchmod/_catchmod.pyx#L150

The excel version of catchmod stores this parameter with units cumec.days^2/km^2, i.e. L^3.T^-1.T^2.L^-2, which cancels to L.T. Before calculation, this is multiplied by area (L^2) to give the required units. In addition, the value is multiplied by 86.4, which converts m3/s to Ml/d.

We need to decide how to handle this.
