Module transforms 

Coordinate transformation pipeline.

TEME -> GCRS replicates Skyfield’s exact computation path including AU/day unit scaling for bit-exact (0 ULP) parity.

Also provides GCRS -> ITRS, ITRS -> geodetic (WGS84), and topocentric (az/el/range) transformations.

The pure compute functions live here in the core crate; the Rustler decode/encode shims that used to wrap them stay in orbis_nif as glue, so no domain formula lives in the NIF layer. The numerics, summation order, transcendental sequence, and the single sanctioned mul_add site (mat3_vec3_mul_fma) are preserved exactly so the existing Skyfield 0-ULP parity holds.
