Implement pan2018 #34

💻 Solver request: pan2018

This solver iterates over the argument of perigee by using a numerical procedure based on non-rational Bézier functions. The cool thing about this paper is that it ships with the pseudo-code, so it should be more intuitive to implement this.

This solver shares some formulas about the fundamental ellipse, which have already been implemented in the ecc_solvers sub-package.

Maybe we should consider building a module named fundamental were all routines about the fundamental ellipse can be stored.

Run out of time, this will not be included within the 0.2 release. Postponing its implementation 😞
