4f842627da Fixed mistake in GeoVector(SUN): we do need to correct for light-travel time.
To be consistent, when calculating the geocentric position of the Sun,
we do need to correct for light travel time just like we would for any
other object. This reduces the maximum time error for predicting transits
from 25 minutes to 11 minutes.

Also had to disable aberration when calculating moon phases
(longitude from Sun) in order to keep a good fit with test data.

e3255c7401 Cleaned up and unified Earth and Moon radius constants.
In all 4 supported languages, use consistent constant names for
Earth and Moon radii.

Use Moon's equatorial radius for rise/set timing.

Use Moon's mean radius for calculating Moon's umbra radius for
detecting solar eclipses.

Also use Moon's mean radius for determining whether the Earth's shadow
touches the Moon, for finding lunar eclipses.

Use the Moon's polar radius for distinguishing between total
and annular eclipses, with a 14 meter bias (instead of 1420 meters!)
to match Espenak data.

Use consistent unit test error threshold of 0.57 minutes for rise/set.
Updated demo test data for slight changes to rise/set prediction times.

Updated doxygen options to issue an error on any warnings.
Fixed the incorrect function name link that doxygen was warning me about.

91aafeaba7 Starting to add Python demo programs.
Created skeleton test harness for validating the demo programs.
Created stub moonphase.py.
Copied correct demo program outputs from nodejs; will tweak as needed.
Call the Python demo test harness from the 'run' script.
