Derived section properties

Integrated from the section's own outline including the root and toe radii, whose arcs are integrated analytically rather than approximated by facets. For 45 x 45 x 5 EA the computed area agrees with the published value to 0.09% and Ix to 0.31%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
