Implement basic Circular Restricted 3 Body Problem (CR3BP) class; more complex functionality to follow in future issues #21

The Orbital Mechanics with Python series ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOIRBaljOV8gn074rWFWYP1dCr2dJqWab ) will be pivoting from gravity assist trajectory design to circular restricted 3 body problem (CR3BP) trajectories. This will include Lagrange points, halo / Lissajous orbits, Earth-Moon trajectories (including free-return trajectories that the Apollo missions used), and lots of new and interesting math.

The first step will be to create a CR3BP trajectory propagator.
