Feature or improvement description
When using the new aero-elastic capabilities in the UA driver, we noticed some simple cases that diverged. Further inspection led us to find a sign error in the LinDyn implementation (see matrix BB).

Related issue, if one exists
This was discussed in an email chain between Envision Energy and @ebranlard.

Impacted areas of the software
UA driver, SimMod=3

Additional supporting information

Test results, if applicable
I added a new regression test for UA driver to expose this bug, but the existing cases for the UA driver aren't run in GitHub, so... until that is added, this won't change any regression tests.

The "x dot" portion of the state-space equation should not change the sign of the aero forces named "GF" in a planning document authored by E. Branlard (file named Section2D_v4.pdf)
