Arthur: Added instruction to install pypluto and how to read data using it

... exists in different versions from different sources:

* https://github.com/bellatrics/pyPLUTO, alpha state from 2011, don't use
* https://github.com/coolastro/pyPLUTO, version 1.0 from 2012, don't use
* https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/sdoetsch/pypluto, modified version 4.4, maintained until 2022 ← use <nowiki>''this''</nowiki>

To install:

* Grab the files off of gitlab and unzip them into a local folder
* Inside the extracted folder enter your python environment (e.g. conda) and enter the command <code>python3 setup.py install</code>

To load data:

* <code>import pyPLUTO.pload as pp</code>
* <code>wdir='/path/to/data/files'</code>
* <code>data=pp.pload(timestep (e.g. 1), w_dir=wdir)</code>

Now 'data' contains all the information of the given timestep. To call a specific variable you can use <code>data.x1</code> to get a numpy array of all values of the variable x1 in that timestep.

Note: For versions < 4.1: Replace <code>import pyPLUTO.pload as pp</code> with <code>import pyPLUTO as pp</code>
