Add ZeroLiftAoA to SaccAirVehicle #48

Adding a new aircraft parameter ZeroLiftAoA (Zero Lift Angle of Attack). This parameter presents the angle of attack (AoA) at which the aircraft wings generate zero lift. It simply offsets the calculated pitch AoA.

The ZeroLiftAoA parameter is usually negative value of degrees. It is also affected by the camber angle of the wing, and generally the higher the camber, the smaller the ZeroLiftAoA. This feature allows for better representation of wing shape differences between aircraft models.

Especially for aircraft with low engine power, adjusting this ZeroLiftAoA parameter is expected to improve takeoff behavior.

Very smart, sorry for taking so long to merge
