_reinitialize method in floris_model.py is slower than it needs to be for minor changes

[achenry]

I'm using Floris in a controller in which the model is updated at each time-step with new wind speeds and directions, and it looks like _reinitialize is a bottleneck, specifically the from_dict call at the end of the method. Would it be possible to set a flag to not update the parameters of floris unless necessary? I only need to update wind speed and direction.

and the rest of the code profile...
