Tracking Methods

To each lattice element one can vary the method used to track particles through the element. This is useful, among other things for optimizing speed and/or accuracy.
q1: quadrupole, l = 0.6, ..., tracking_method = runge_kutta
Some possibilities:
**bmad_standard** Fast, thick element formulas.
**symp_lie_ptc** Symplectic Lee integration tracking.
**taylor** Taylor map.
**linear** Linear tracking.
**custom** Tracking with custom code.
**runge_kutta** Track through fields.
etc...
Much more information in the Bmad manual...
