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.

searchLunarEclipse

fun searchLunarEclipse(startTime: Time): LunarEclipseInfo

Searches for a lunar eclipse.

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

See lunarEclipsesAfter for convenient iteration of consecutive lunar eclipses.

Return

Information about the first lunar eclipse that occurs after startTime.

Parameters


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