Description

To support ongoing work with @sssaito, and in analogy to mean radial velocity profiles and radial velocity dispersion profiles, include a new cython engine and user-facing convenience function to calculate the anisotropy profile

`\beta^2(r) = 1 - 0.5(sigma_t^2 / sigma_r^2)`

and also

`\beta^2(r/Rvir) = 1 - 0.5(sigma_t^2 / sigma_r^2)`

CC @manodeep - have you implemented this in `Corrfunc`?
