0674d69237 C RiseSet: starting algorithm without hour angles.
The rise/set search based on hour angles is complicated,
and doesn't handle oddities that happen close to the poles.
I'm starting to rework rise/set as a more brute force solution
that iterates through finite time steps.

I also added a series of Moon data for the arctic circle,
which includes some of the more painful special cases.
For example:

Moon  130  80 2034-05-16T13:21Z s
Moon  130  80 2034-05-16T13:51Z r

Here the Moon sets, then rises 30 minutes later.
So now I'm trying to figure out how to discover
arbitrarily brief intervals like this.
I want the time increments to scale intelligently
so that we don't waste time during long periods
of inactivity (body above or below the horizon continuously),
but without missing examples like the one above.
