8dc66a8610 Fixed search failure in moon_north_south.js demo. 
It was possible for certain starting times to have a search
failure in this demo, because it could place more than
one zero-crossing of the function in the same time interval.
So now we iterate over an interval of 10 days at a time
until we find the solution.

4007023422 Forgot to include JPL Horizons batch data. 
I wanted to record the exact settings I used
to generate the JPL Horizons data used to verify
my calculations of the Moon's extreme declinations.

cea0158558 Added JS demo: moon_north_south. 
This demo shows how to search for the next time
the Moon reaches extreme ecliptic latitude or
extreme declination. In other words, it finds
when the Moon reaches the farthest north or south,
expressed in either ecliptic coordinates or equatorial
coordinates.

Both angles are measured using the Earth's equator of date.
