Description

Spread-options are particularly popular in commodity markets. A simple [Kirk's approximation](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0893965913001171) for European spread-option price under Black-Scholes model is of interest.

The module implementing this method should live under tf_quant_finance/volatility/spread_option.py. It should support both puts and calls. Tests should be in spread_option_test.py in the same folder.
