Checking forecasting outputs

This should be run for the test case for S4+Planck. This is T/E/kappa. No clusters or BAO at this point (can be posted in other entries though). Settings described here and here:

• S4 = single channel (e.g. 150 GHz) at 1 uK/amin in T and 1.4uK/amin in P, 3 arcmin resolution.
• White noise, no FG inflation

• S4 T/E/B/k over 40% of sky, 30<ell < lmax
• Planck TT/TE/EE from 30<l<2500 over additional 20% of sky. Can use these 'Planck-pol' specs for noise:File:Planck pol.pdf
• Planck TT at l<30 over 80% of sky
• Tau prior 0.06+-0.01

• lmax(TT)=3000 unless explicit foreground cleaning is done in code for kSZ etc
• lmax(TE,EE)=5000 unless explicit foreground cleaning done in code
• kk reconstructed from 30<l<lmax using MV estimate

• quadratic estimator for lensing, ideally with iterative delensing
• Gaussian likelihood neglecting T/E/k covariance is ok, but non-Gaussian better
• non-linear power spectrum for kk, e.g. ok to use halofit in CAMB
• if easy to do, use pivot k=0.05
