Describe the bug
The docstring for pvlib.tracking.singleaxis does not explain what the calculated tracker angle is based on. At the very least it should say that it minimizes AOI and thereby maximizes DNI use.

Additional context
In retrospect, I think the backtrack default should have been False but that may be more controversial.
