added unified coordinate conversion routines and planetary positions
This commit revises the routines in isisscripts for the coordinate conversions. All routines are contained in src/slang/astronomy/coco.sl. They allow to be called with vector and angular arguments and all use matrix based routines internally. The commit also includes a first set of routines to calculate topocentric positions of the planets, following the algorithm used by the Astronomical Almanac and based on VSOP87. In total, the following new functions are made available: Coordinate conversions: equatorial2horizon, horizon2equatorial equatorial2galactic, galactic2equatorial equatorial2ecliptical, ecliptical2equatorial Precession of equatorial coordinates: precess Planetary positions: planetpos
