Calculate surface brightness in each bin

When calling this from a profile object, the band can be specified after an underscore, e.g. p['sb_b'] for b-band surface brightnesses.

For important information about the calculation of magnitudes and surface brightnesses, see the module documentation for pynbody.analysis.luminosity.
