Consider renaming x to y in bifacial functions #2586

@cwhanse

Description

@cwhanse

The reference and local coordinate systems for bifacial functions align x to the East (reference) or along a tracker axis (local), and y to the North (reference) or perpendicular to the tracker axis and parallel to the ground. z is always Up.

Some bifacial functions, e.g.,

def vf_ground_sky_2d(rotation, gcr, x, pitch, height, max_rows=10):
, require a parameter x defined as "Position on the ground between two rows", or "Position on the row's slant length". In the coordinate systems, x corresponds to a distance in the y direction.
