\class    genie::PaisQELLambdaPXSec

\brief    Implementation of the quasi-elastic scattering formula for
          production of particles with different masses than the target.

\ref      Weak Interactions at High Energies
          A. Pais, Annals of Physics 63, 361-392 (1971)
          Implemented here is equation 2.34 of the Pais paper, but ignoring
          lepton mass terms.  This equation is given also as Equation 3.37 in
          the Llewellyn-Smith paper, though this paper uses slightly
          different notation than that used in the Pais paper, and introduces
          a small error in the kinematic coefficient of the w2 term.  The
          notation here by and large follows that of the Llewelyn-Smith paper.
