Add support for writing SPICE kernels #1

Open dahlend opened 5 months ago

Long term it would be very helpful to support the writing of SPICE kernels.

This came about due to having to combine several hundred individual SPICE kernels from WISE into one complete file. This could have been done entirely inside of this code if writing of files was available.

A significant portion of the refactoring required to support this was completed in #43.

That PR introduced data structures which are much more closely aligned with the file structures present in SPK and PCK files.

What remains is to now output those structures into a file.
