Fix #1125

  • Fix mistake in calculation of array area in hectares (only affects UI calculated value).
  • Add new UI calculated variables to show module area in acres and hectares. This makes it a little clearer how module area relates to total land area, and makes the effect of GCR and tilt angle more apparent when the user changes those inputs.
  • Reorganize PV land area inputs and edit UI text.
  • Regenerate API files for new UI inputs (new inputs should not affect SSC).
  • Help revisions will be done separately.

* Fix mistake in module area in hectares calculated value
* Reorganize land area inputs
These are calculated values in user interface, so set to zero by default. Correct value should be calculated when UI forms load.

Github seems to be having some trouble loading the diffs for the UI forms and api module files but the changes look good to me on the build.
