Thermostat naming

@justinGilmer @JIMonroe : @EfremBraun pointed this out:
EB: I recommend referring to this thermostat as the Gaussian Thermostat. I’ve seen it referred to as the Hoover-Evans thermostat as well (I haven’t seen it called the Hoover thermostat, but I’m sure somebody has called it that), but simply calling it the Gaussian thermostat avoids wading into the argument about who came up with it first.
OK with calling what we currently call the Hoover thermostat the Gaussian thermostat? I don't think I've heard it called just Hoover so I will make this change unless there are objections.
Yeah, Gaussian is fine with me. Its a bit more descriptive as well.
I'll make this change in an upcoming pull request (I'll send it in a few hours).
Oops, that works too.
I've just got this into my open PR that I'm working on, @EfremBraun . So maybe your new PR can build off of mine (#44 ).
I hope to finish in the next hour.
