Implemented multi-section surface parameterization

[sabakhshi]

Purpose

In support of the Army/CDI project I have implemented a multi-section geometry group for OpenAeroStruct that allows the optimizer to have full control over individual wing sections using all existing OpenAeroStruct transformations. Two approaches for facilitating C0 continuity between sections, by constraint or by construction, are provided. In addition, an automatic mesh generator for multi-section wing is implemented. This feature can be back-ported to single-section surfaces in a future PR.

Expected time until merged

Will add the test. I'm wondering what you mean about the docs build failing? Github tells me that is has succeeded.

Sorry never mind the docs are fine, flake8/black is failing though
