Research direction

Start by reading the Debye-functions section in the linked GNU GSL documentation and inspecting existing SpecialFunctions.jl implementations of related mathematical functions. The work is complete when D_1 is available without being restricted to Float64 and its behavior matches the referenced definition.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hey,

I end up needing the Debye function D_1 from https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/doc/html/specfunc.html#debye-functions

Would be nice to have this type agnostic and not Float64-only-because-C++
