heyoka 7.3.0

[bluescarni]

Version 7.3.0 marks a significant milestone in the evolution of heyoka, taking concrete steps toward becoming a comprehensive tool for spacecraft operations.

This release introduces a suite of new physical models essential for high-precision orbital mechanics and mission planning, including time conversions, reference frame transformations, Earth orientation parameters and even space weather modeling. Additionally, heyoka now supports the EGM2008 geopotential model and the IAU2000/2006 precession-nutation theory, enhancing its fidelity for orbital dynamics. New classes for managing space weather and Earth orientation data provide streamlined access to operational datasets.

In parallel, performance and compatibility improvements include a leaner library footprint and support for LLVM 20, with an updated dependency on Boost.
