...supporting ellipsoid inheritance.
This is a replacement for the clasic PROJ pj_ell_set function.
The main difference is that pj_ellipsoid augments the PJ object with a copy of the exact tags used to define its related ellipsoid.
This makes it possible to let a new PJ object inherit the exact geometrical properties of an existing one.
A complete ellipsoid definition comprises a primary (size) and a secondary (shape) parameter. It may include a spherification parameter, that turns an ellipsoid into a sphere with radius defined from the ellipsoidal parameters (e.g. a sphere with same surface area or volume as the ellipsoid).
