Rectangular reinforced cross section (including visualisation)

Description

Rectangular reinforced cross section (including visualization)

There we are again...this time ready for Blueprints:

• Base class is made thinking about extension with another reinforced cross section (circular, octagonal, etc)
• Interface made as clean as possible , hopefully really easy and intuitive to use
• Plotter out of the box but swappable if you want (own logo, own colors, totally other plot if you want)

Fixes #268

Type of change

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• This change requires a documentation update

Checklist:

• I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
• I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
• I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
• New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes

Nice work! some minor comments, after that I think we're good to go.
