Filter transmission functions for continuum_bands.ini file (trac #395)

[cloudy-bot]

reported by: @CloudyLex

There have been many requests that we use a proper filter transmission function for the continuum_bands.ini bands we predict. We now use a boxcar function with a uniform transmission.

Adam Carnall has pointed me to this web site:
http://svo2.cab.inta-csic.es/svo/theory/fps/
a part of the VO, which gives filter functions for a large number of bands. We could use these to do a better integration.
