Lubomir found better compressibility data for the pure gases that we
need for scuba, making the air table superfluous: we get good values
from just regular linear mixing of the Oxygen, Nitrogen and Helium
calculations.
Also, rather than using a quintic polynomial, a cubic one does
sufficiently well, making for smaller code and fewer coefficients.
And judging by the reactions from people on G+ (as well as just looking
at how good the fit is with the air data), this is all the right way to
do this, and this thus removes the Redlich-Kwong equation.

.. and use a linear mix of them for arbitrary gas mixes.
For the special case of air, we continue to use the air-specific
polynomial.

This goes back to just doing air compressibility, but using the
least-squares quintic polynomial equation that Lubomir generated based
on the Wikipedia table for air at 300K in the 1-500 bar range.
We might be able to do similar things for mixed gases..

The gas compressibility is such a specialized thing that I really prefer
having it separate.
This keeps Robert's Redlich-Kwong equation as-is, but let's experiment
with other models soon...
