[Mesa-users] Add a new formula for overshooting

[Rob Farmer]

Hi

The mechanism to change parts of mesa is to edit the run_star_extras.f file
(have a look at the lecture notes here: https://jschwab.github.io/mesa-2017/
). In your case you would want to add a other_d_mix routine where you could
implement your new overshoot expression (See file
$MESA_DIR/star/private/other/other_d_mix.f90 for the basic function) as an
additional diffusion coefficient.

other_d_mix is called in $MESA_DIR/star/private/private/mix_info.f90 if you
want to see what the rest of the code does.
