Calculate continuous unit hydrograph with given n and k (in the framework of the linear storage cascade)

1	unitHydrograph(n, k, t, force = FALSE)

`n`	Numeric. Number of storages in cascade.
`k`	Numeric. Storage coefficient [1/s] (resistance to let water run out). High damping = slowly reacting landscape = high soil water absorbtion = high k.
`t`	Numeric, possibly a vector. Time [s].
`force`	Logical: Force the integral of the hydrograph to be 1? DEFAULT: FALSE

Vector with the unit hydrograph along t

The sum under the UH should always be 1 (if t is long enough). This needs yet to be checked...
