PTPlot: EFT benchmark points

Benchmark points for the SM extended with effective operators up to dimension eight (supplied by M. Chala).

The new physics potential reads ΔV=c6f2|H|6+c8f4|H|8. The effective scale f/c below is defined by c/f2c6f2+32v2c8f4. The nucleation temperature and other parameters relevant for the gravitational wave spectrum have very little dependence on c6 and c8 independently (see https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.02168); and they have been computed using a modified version of CosmoTransitions (see https://arxiv.org/abs/1109.4189).

General parameters used for plotting: vw=0.95, T=100.0GeV (when all points are plotted), g=106.75.
