Allow different parameterisation for thrust and power

Use Case

We want to be able to use different parameterisation for thrust and power if necessary.

Current state

It's very common for power to be given as absolute values, while thrust is given as a coefficient. In our current setup, we have the same parameterisation for both power and thrust.

It's also awkward to have a 'cp' field containing power, with a boolean cp_is_coefficient.

Proposed Solution

{ 
  // ...
  "power": {
    "is_coefficient": false,
    "parameters": {
       // ...
    },
   "values": {
      // ...
    }
  },
  "thrust": {
    "is_coefficient": true,
    "parameters": {
       // ...
    },
   "values": {
      // ...
    }
  }
}
