Use pyorbital for sun-earth distance correction #108

Currently Pygac has its own implementation of sun-earth distance correction. This could be replaced with pyorbital.astronomy.sun_earth_distance_correction. Note that the value computed by Pyorbital would have to be squared, see https://github.com/pytroll/pyorbital/issues/97.
