`HarmonicOscillatorWaveFunction` fails for small Fock states

1

### Bug Description Using the `HarmonicOscillatorWaveFunction` class one can compute and plot the position wave function. However, for relatively low Fock states the routine used by Qutip begins to fail....

We should decide an argument order for all functions and modules to obey then document. This issue is mostly about providing a little consistency across the repo 1. Noisy QPU...
