Expand description

High-accuracy frame transforms (Skyfield-compatible, 0-ULP).

The precise frame-transform substrate that used to be pub(crate) inside orbis_nif, now a public part of the core crate. It exposes:

The numerics are byte-for-byte identical to the orbis_nif originals so the existing Skyfield 0-ULP parity (test/skyfield_parity_test.exs) holds. The only changes on relocation are visibility (pub(crate) -> pub) and import paths; the operation order, summation order, transcendental sequence, and the single sanctioned mul_add site are preserved exactly.

Per the crate-boundary invariant, the Rustler decode/encode shims (*_impl, parse_datetime_tuple) stay in orbis_nif; only the pure float-producing compute functions live here.
