Only hide eclipsed moons in realistic-lighting mode #167

When SolarSystemLighting is off and everything is lit in flat fashion, it's jarring for Jupiter's moons to suddenly disappear as they orbit the planet.

Closes #8.

@astrojonathan Does this look OK to you?

It will do for now. We could just draw black mask in eclipse as an alternative by changing the base color to black, more complicated but more correct. We can file a issue to address this more completely in the future.
