Updated the geosynchronous orbit calculations in the CelestialBody class. Replaced the StateVector class reference with ConicOrbitalElements for more accurate orbit representation. This change provides more accurate orbital parameters including eccentricity and true anomaly. Additionally, added a new member function GetBodyFixedPosition to compute the fixed position of a celestial body given its longitude, latitude, and epoch. This was done to facilitate positioning calculations in other parts of the software.
Updated .gitignore to include build folders specific to Linux. Refactored tests in CelestialBodyTests.cpp to assert position coordinates individually using ASSERT_NEAR instead of asserting the equality of the entire position vector. This change can provide more accurate error reports in the face of potential floating point precision issues.
