Hybrid refractive-diffractive lens

Major updates including
[1] Hybrid refractive-diffractive lens simulation and optimization with differentiable ray-wave model (SiggrahAisa 2024),
[2] Lens base class to easily customize new lens systems,
[2] Better support and bug fixing for existing code.

Lens Optimization and Zemax File Support

New features:

• Simplified materials of each surface from [mat1, mat2] combination to only [mat2] for future lens material optimization.
• Added Zemax file IO support. DeepLens now supports .zmx file IO, but only for a limited number of optical surfaces.
• Introduced task-driven lens design. Try it by running python 4_task_lens.py! Remember to specify your own ImageNet dataset path.
