ASTAP-compatible mode and oriented comet tails

ASTAP mode (per docs/design/astap-mode.md): a raw ASTAP-style command
line — or a copy of the binary named astap — routes to a solver that
reads `-f -fov -z -s -r -ra -spd` with ASTAP's unit conventions,
resolves its star catalog via SEIZA_STAR_DATA / a seiza.toml or data
file beside the executable / platform data dirs, solves hinted (radius
clamped; wide N.I.N.A. radii fall back to blind), and writes the
`<basename>.ini` result N.I.N.A. actually reads: PLTSOLVD, CRVAL/CRPIX
(FITS 1-based), the CD matrix, and informational CDELT/CROTA. Failures
write PLTSOLVD=F with an ERROR line. Windows builds stamp FileVersion
1.0.0.0 so N.I.N.A.'s ASTAP capability gate keeps auto-downsample.

Minor bodies gain a characteristic direction: anti-solar position
angle for comets (the tail) and apparent-motion bearing for asteroids
(the trail), from the same ephemeris.
