Don Cross 5676049596 Kotlin: added iterator helper functions

Added the following iterator functions that wrap
search/next pairs of functions:

    globalSolarEclipsesAfter
    localSolarEclipsesAfter
    lunarApsidesAfter
    lunarEclipsesAfter
    moonNodesAfter
    moonQuartersAfter
    planetApsidesAfter
    transitsAfter

I updated the following Kotlin demos:

    MoonPhase.kt    ==> moonQuartersAfter
    LunarEclipse.kt ==> lunarEclipsesAfter

However, I have not yet figured out how to use these
functions in the corresponding Java demos.

searchGlobalSolarEclipse

fun searchGlobalSolarEclipse(startTime: Time): GlobalSolarEclipseInfo

Searches for a solar eclipse visible anywhere on the Earth's surface.

This function finds the first solar eclipse that occurs after startTime. A solar eclipse may be partial, annular, or total. See GlobalSolarEclipseInfo for more information. To find a series of solar eclipses, call this function once, then keep calling nextGlobalSolarEclipse as many times as desired, passing in the peak value returned from the previous call.

See globalSolarEclipsesAfter for convenient iteration of consecutive eclipses.

Return

Information about the first solar eclipse after startTime.

Parameters


startTime	The date and time for starting the search for a solar eclipse.
