Add `external_field` argument to `QuadraticFlux` and other normal field objectives
If I want to say optimize a modular coilset in the presence of a background ToroidalField, currently we would have to do so with a SumMagneticField object, passing in the coils and the TF. however, our coil objectives cannot handle a SumMagneticField object so we would be unable to penalize coil coil distance or curvature or anything like that.
If we add in a external_field argument to these objectives that can take in a static external field, we would avoid these issues.
A longer term fix would be to get the coil objectives to work with objects where the field is not given solely by coilsets.
Modify pytree function in coil objectives to only use the coilsets in the passed-in magnetic field object
