Include distance of satellite for interference event data #106

This PR adds satellite distance data for interference events and updates the documentation accordingly.

An optional distance attribute was added to the Position dataclass. Now, when interference event data is generated via a call to get_satellites_crossing_main_beam, or get_satellites_above_horizon the distance (in km) between the satellite and the observer is returned along with the altitude and azimuth.
