Support for Pulseq v1.5.1

[mcencini]

This issue is to track progress towards v1.5.1.

Prerequisites

• rotate3D (see [v1.5.x] Implemented rotate3D #302)

• Refactor set_block() (gradient continuity check) and get_block() (see [v1.5.x] Refactor set_block() and get_block() functions #341)

Main functionalities

• RF Shim extension ([V1.5.1] rf shimming extension #373 needs [v1.5.x] Refactor set_block() and get_block() functions #341)
• Rotation extension ([v1.5.1] Add rotation extension #372, needs [v1.5.x] Implemented rotate3D #302 and [v1.5.x] Refactor set_block() and get_block() functions #341)
• Transform FOV (needs Rotation extension)

Extras

• pypulseq.calc_moments_btensor() (see [v1.5.x] Add calc_moments_btensor() #342)
• pypulseq.calc_rf_power() and pypulseq.Sequence.calc_rf_power() (see [v1.5.x] Add calc_rf_power() #347)
• pypulseq.sound() (see [v1.5.x] Add sound() #348)

Hi, I just wanted to get involved in the RF Shim version. Has there been any progress on this that hasn't been mentioned yet?

I've integrated my solution into @mcencini dev branch (https://github.com/mcencini/pypulseq/tree/v1.5.1-rf_shim_ext) but are not allowed to create my own branch there. Should I create my own Dev branch here or what do you recommend ?

Hi @Happinessjump! Thanks a lot for the interest! Is there any specific change you would like to add to the v1.5.1-rf_shim_ext branch? If so, feel free to open a PR to that branch, so it will appear in the PR here as well.
I just wanted to point out that the branch above is "incomplete" by design and is currently expected to be non-functional, as to facilitate the PR reviews some of the required changes are in other PRs (#341) - that is the reason #373 is still a draft PR, to emphasize it is not ready for review yet. I will convert it as soon as #373 is merged (at that point, it will everything it needs to be fully functional) so perhaps it makes sense to wait until then to add changes. What do you think?
