Adds the following note to Tutorial/Derivatives with Respect to Shape Parameters:
A finite difference involves two function evaluations of$\rho(h)$ , but the cost for this is negligible since it involves no Meep simulations. However, in cases when there are a large number of shape parameters and a dense design grid, the cost of the finite differences can be non negligible: $M$ shape parameters require $M$ finite differences each involving $N$ grid points.
