validating PCA fit

So far we've neglected to validate the PCA fit and produce plots like Figure 6 in Alsing+(2020):

We need to check that the PCA bases that we fit are able to capture the model SED to <1% accuracy throughout the wavelength range.

Validation of complexdust PCA with n_pca=[50, 30, 30] (see notebook)

For the first wavelength bin, n_pca=30 or 40 both produce >1% inaccuracies so we have to use n_pca=50.
