Adding several new columns to horizons query #151

Closed dahlend closed 1 week ago

fixes #150

This adds M, K, and PC slopes and magnitudes for comets, along with the rotation period if known.

At some later date this may be split up into some smaller chunks, but for now it is simpler to just carry a ~100mb file. This took ~1.5 minutes to download from horizons.

A bit of a drive-by change, but this also removes an unused variable in the spice PCK files, and enforces some frame of reference checks. The static analysis tools I am using on this computer highlighted these (correctly) as issues, which are not visible on my work laptop, probably since we have a pinned older rust version which is primarily used for development on that machine. Static analysis tools are the best.
