Edits in preparation for moving NXinteraction_volume_em to the application definition NXem, the top-level docstring and scientific context why having such a class is useful but the class has not been worked out in detail enough to warrant having an own base class, it should just be moved to NXem/entryID/em_sim also strengthening the point that NXem can be used for computer simulations of EM matters.
