Previously k implicit only had a few multiplicative scattering channels it considered. This seemed to work well mostly, but, for JEFF with Be, this could cause significant keff bias. Hence I have added in MTs 875-891 which are discrete and continuous (n,2n) levels. These have also been added to endfConstants. I added a few others which we already had in endfConstants too, but in this case MTs 875-891 were the culprits.

Added in the BEAVRS model with the D-bank partially inserted. Also fixed
a flaw in the geometry where the outermost cell was defined such that
there could be a rare particle lost between it and the geometry
boundary.
Added more obscure channels to the multiplicative scattering tally in
kImplicit.

There might be conflicts with the BEAVRS input that was just merged in another PR.
Once the commits are sorted (just noting that the MT numbers were already there in a more compact form) this is good to go!

If this passes all the tests, I think this is ok now! Feel free to merge.
