Description
Currently the code can model single stars with starspots @gully (with a single temp. and fill factor). We (@tofflemire, @gully and @edgillen) want to extend that to do full modelling of intrinsic (e.g. logg, Teff) and extrinsic (e.g. vsini) model parameters. This would describe double-lined binary stars.
The main changes would be to update_theta.

Research direction
Start by locating and reading update_theta, the only entry point named in the issue, and inspect how single-star starspot parameters are currently represented. Determine the required intrinsic and extrinsic parameters for double-lined binary modelling and define how completion will be validated; the issue provides no tests or file paths.
