Proposed improvement to the WeaponTube::calculateFiringSolution function for faster and more reliable convergence:

Direct calculation of turning angle from aim point.
Improved calculation of interception point / nearest approach point (from TODO).
Harmonization of methods for moving and stationary targets.

Contact Chimp on discord for more information.

BUG: Function does not work well when the parent ship is moving. Relaunching the pull request.
