[Feature]: convert F_parm to log(F_parm) #401

Description

@Rick-Methot-NOAA

Describe the solution you would like.

F_parm logically cannot be < 0.0, but if catch for a fleet * time is very small, it can get close to 0.0 and impede convergence.

F_parm is used only in Procedure_Section to populate Hrate which is the F value used in calculations:
Hrate(f, t) = F_rate(g);

so easy to change this to:
Hrate(f, t) = exp(F_rate(g));

requires associated changes to the bounds on the F_rate parameter.
should do the same for the init_F parameters.

Describe alternatives you have considered

none considered

Statistical validity, if applicable

implementing parameters in log space is generally recommended by my statistician colleagues

Describe if this is needed for a management application

no
