The fast brake option in this PR is related to #179.

WG team is trying to measure the time constant by changing the hwp frequency rapidly e.g. +2Hz to -2Hz.
Current brake command is designed for gentle spindown and it takes >10 min to start inverse rotation.
New option of brake command is expected to take <2 min to spindown.

The modification in hwp_supervisor is discussed in PR #787 in socs.
This PR should be merged after the hwp_supervisor change is approved.

Thanks for the PR! I'll wait for simonsobs/socs#787 to be resolved and merged. In the meantime a couple of comments below.

You may have noticed the failing tests in the checks. Two tests in test_hwp.py are failing. These should be modified to handle cases for the new fast argument.
