v0.8.0 - PoweredGuidance, AutoStage and AutoRemoveFinishedBurns are now part of AFC

Changes

• cairn5's PoweredGuidance mod has been merged into AdvancedFlightComputer. Closed-loop guidance that flies the craft for you is now a feature of AFC, and I want to give a huge shoutout to cairn5 for developing it.
• Ascent flies UPFG, the Space Shuttle's ascent guidance, to a target periapsis, apoapsis, inclination and LAN.
• Boostback flies a separated booster back toward its landing site using a settling burn, flip, boostback burn and entry attitude, against an impact prediction through the atmosphere.
• Deorbit and land flies the whole chain from a low orbit. It uses the deorbit burn, a fuel-optimal powered descent with G-FOLD or the 6-DOF solver, and a terminal hover to touchdown. Land from here starts at the descent.
• Open the AFC Guidance menu in the top bar, switch Enabled on and click Show panel. Guidance takes over a craft only when you press EXECUTE, and it lets go when you abort, take over the attitude or arm the stock Auto burn.
• My AutoStage and AutoRemoveFinishedBurns mods have also been fully integrated into AFC.
• If you had AutoStage, AutoRemoveFinishedBurns or PoweredGuidance installed, delete their folders under Documents\My Games\Kitten Space Agency\mods\.
• cairn5's PoweredGuidance repository now points here, and its earlier releases stay available there.

Credit

The powered guidance is the work of Oliver Cairns (cairn5), co-author of the project. PEGAS by Noiredd is the reference for UPFG. The native solvers Clarabel and SCS ship with the mod under their own permissive licences.
